Ghathia Curry, also known as Chickpea Flour Curry, is a popular vegan and gluten-free dish from the Indian subcontinent. The dish is made by first making chickpea flour dumplings, also called “ghathias,” which are then simmered in a spiced tomato-based curry.
To make the ghathias, chickpea flour is mixed with spices and water to form a dough, which is then shaped into long, thin strips and fried until golden brown and crispy. The curry is made by sautéing onions, garlic, and ginger in oil, then adding tomatoes and spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Water or vegetable broth is added to make a flavorful broth, and the ghathias are added and simmered until tender and infused with the flavors of the curry.
Ghathia curry can be served hot with rice or bread, and is often garnished with fresh cilantro or mint leaves. It is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a satisfying vegetarian or vegan meal.
