Set a stock pot filled with water over high flame so that by the time you shape the gatte the water comes to a boil.
Add coriander seeds, cumin seeds & fennel seeds into a mortar or a mixer grinder jar & grind them into a coarsely crushed spices mix, half of the quantity will be used for the dough & the remaining will be added in the gravy.
To make the dough sieve & add the gram flour into a large bowl & then add the remaining dry ingredients & mix well.
Then add the ghee & oil, mix well & then add the curd, mix well again.
Further add water gradually & combine all the dry flour, you have to knead a soft dough so add water accordingly.
Once all the dry flour has combined transfer the dough onto the kitchen platform, coat your hand with a bit of oil & knead the dough for 1-2 minutes until the dough becomes smooth.
Further roll the dough into a thick log & divide it into 3 equal parts, then roll the divided portion into cylinders.
Cut the cylinder in half so that they fit in the stock pot.
Add them into the boiling water & cook them for 12-15 minutes.
