    About Papad Ghatiya Sabji

    Papad Gathiya Sabji is a traditional Rajasthani curry made using urad dal papad (poppadums) and gathiya (thick chickpea flour sev).

    This no onion no garlic curry is a great option to make for Indian-style meals when you are out of fresh vegetables.

    Make it using my easy recipe and serve it with roti, bajra roti, or tawa paratha for Indian-style meals.

    Papad – This dish is traditionally made using urad dal papad but feel free to use any papad that you have.

    Gathiya – Gathiya is thick sev made using besan (chickpea flour). You can use plain gathiya or flavored gathiya to make this curry.

    Spice Powders – You will need basic spice powders like coriander powder, turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, and cumin powder.

    Yogurt – Plain yogurt (dahi, curd) makes the base of this sabji. Whisking it with a little all-purpose flour (maida) prevents it from curdling while cooking.

    Others – You will also need vegetable oil, cumin seeds, asafetida (hing), dry red chilies, fenugreek seeds (methi dana), and cilantro (fresh coriander leaves).

    Whisk ½ cup of plain yogurt with

    • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

    and set it aside.

    Storage Suggestions

    Papad Gathiya Sabji is best served hot right from the pan. If you want to make it ahead, make sure to not add papad and gathiya to the curry otherwise they will become soggy.

    Make the curry and refrigerate it for up to 2 days. Reheat over low heat until hot and bubbly and then add the papad and gathiya to it just before serving.
