To make gathiya sabzi recipe | Gujarati gathiya nu shaak | gathia sabji | heat 2 tbsp oil in a deep pan.
-
Add 1 star anise (chakri phool). Star anise has a distinct licorice flavor that adds a unique depth and complexity to the curry.
-
Add 1 small cinnamon (dalchini) stick. Cinnamon offers a warm, slightly sweet aroma and flavor that can complement the savory spices like cumin and coriander commonly used in Gathiya Sabzi.
-
Add 1 tsp mustard seeds ( rai / sarson). When heated in oil, mustard seeds crackle and release a strong, nutty, and slightly pungent aroma. This aroma adds depth and complexity to the overall flavor profile of the gathiya sabzi.
-
Add ½ tsp cumin seeds (jeera). It contributes significantly to the aroma, depth, and overall flavor profile of the dish.
-
Add 8 to 10 curry leaves (kadi patta). Curry leaves release a pleasant, fragrant aroma when sauteed in hot oil. This adds a subtle earthy and citrusy note to the overall flavor profile of the dish.
-
Add ¼ tsp asafoetida (hing).
-
Add 1 cup finely chopped onions. Onions are a foundational element in many Indian curries. They add a savory base note that complements the spices and other vegetables in the dish.
-
Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Add 1 tsp ginger-green chilli paste. Ginger adds a warm, earthy aroma and a subtle sweetness to the dish. Green chilies contribute varying degrees of heat depending on the type and quantity used. Together, they create a fragrant and slightly spicy base for the gravy.
-
Add 1 cup chopped tomatoes.
-
Add ¼ tsp turmeric powder (haldi).
-
Add 2 tsp chilli powder.
-
Add 2 tsp coriander-cumin seeds (dhania-jeera) powder.
-

Add ½ cup tomato pulp. Tomato pulp is thicker than chopped tomatoes because it removes the seeds and skin. This can result in a richer, smoother gravy for the gathiya to sit in.
-

-
Add 1½ cups of buttermilk. Buttermilk adds a touch of tangy creaminess to the gravy, balancing the richness of the spices and oil.
-
Add ½ tsp jaggery (gur). Jaggery is added to balance the tanginess of tomatoes.

Add 1½ cups of ganthia. Gathiya, a crispy and savory snack made from besan (gram flour), forms the base of this sabzi. Its unique texture and flavor provide a delightful contrast to the smooth, tangy gravy.
-
Mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes.
