Gatti Garelu

Gatti Garelu is a traditional South Indian snack made with a wholesome blend of pulses like chana dal, urad dal, and moong dal. These fritters are prepared by soaking the pulses, grinding them coarsely, and seasoning the batter with spices like cumin, green chilies, ginger, and curry leaves. The mixture is then shaped into thick patties and deep-fried until crispy and golden. Gatti Garelu is known for its crunchy exterior and soft, flavorful center, making it a satisfying snack with a boost of protein and fiber. Perfect as an appetizer or evening snack, it's often enjoyed with coconut chutney or spicy sambar.
