Method
For the Gatte

In a bowl add besan, red chilli powder, ajwain and salt
Add oil and mix well
Add yogurt little by little and make a firm dough

Take a small ball of the dough and roll it into 1/2 inch thick cylinderical shape
Repeat the same with all the balls
In a pot add water and bring it to a boil
Place all the rolled gatte in the boiling water
They should be fully merged in water.
It should take about 10-15 mins
Check by inserting a knife in one of the rolled gatte and make sure the knife comes out clean.
Once all are done, drain the gatte rolls out of water.
Do not throw the water as it can be used for the gravy.
Cut about 1/2  inch thick gatte
Keep aside

For the Gravy
Heat oil in a pan.
Add cumin seeds and hing
Once they splutter add green chillies, curry leaves and ginger
Stir fry for a minute
Add chopped onions and salt
Saute the onions till they turn translucent
Add all the spices - turmeric, coriander, red chilli powder, amchur, garam masala
Now add the gatte pieces and mix well
Cook for 2 mins and add enough water to make a gravy
Cover and cook for few mins
Garnish with cilantro
Serve hot with parathas
