Bati for Dal Bati Churma

Rajasthani food is incomplete without the mention of the famed Dal-Baati-Churma..

Baatis can be baked in a gas tandoor or an electric oven as well.Recipe for Rajasthani Bati in Gas Oven TandoorImage result for Bati for churma
Ingredients
Dal For Dal Bati Churma
 2 tsp Ghee/ Clarified butter
 Jaggery, powdered (as per taste)
 Salt to taste
 Water as needed
2 cup Wheat flour, coarsely ground

Method

Take a bowl and put flour in it. Then add ghee and crumble the flour. Bring it to a nice crumbling texture. Add just enough water to knead into a semi hard dough. (The dough should be stiff than the puri dough). Divide the dough into balls of 2" diameter, to fit the hollow of the palm. Place on a greased tray and bake in a hot oven (350 deg F) for 10 minutes. Change sides and bake again for 10 minutes. They should be lightly browned with a few cracks when fully done. Remove and dip in melted desi ghee. Serve these hot Dal Batis along with Dal and Churma. For making the Churma: The baatis are broken and powdered coarsely. Add some ghee and jaggery powder and mix well and serve.
