Press the dough into cylindrical shape with hand and cut them in circles like coins with a thickness of ½ inches. Boil 4-5 cups of water and put the besan gatte in boiling water so that they don’t stick to each other. Boil the besan gate in water on medium for 10 minutes. Drain the gate pieces aside.
