- Put the rolls in water in a skillet and boil them for 5-7 minutes over medium heat. When the rolls develop small points on their surfaces (the surface becomes rough), remove from heat.
- Take out the rolls and keep the water aside.
- Cut the rolls into small pieces of size 1 cm long. These are known as gattas.
- Take 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp haldi, 1/2 tsp coriander powder and 1/2 tsp garam masala in yogurt and mix well.
- Take 3-4 gatta and crush them with your fingers to fine pieces.
- Take oil in a skillet and heat it on medium heat. Add cumin seeds and hing. When the seeds splutter, then add the yogurt-spice mixture and stir well. Cook for 5-7 minutes.
- Add the water of step 4 and mix well. When the mixture is boiling, add the gatta of step 5 and the crushed gattas and mix and remove from heat. Cover the skillet.
