Rajasthani food is incomplete without the Rajasthani Dal bati churma Recipe.  Rajasthani Bati is a kind of round bread made without yeast and is served with spicy dal/lentil preparation along with Churma (A semi sweet mix to balance the hot flavors).

Traditionally, these batis are cooked on firewood or ‘Kanda’ (Cow dung cakes) in villages. This is a wholesome meal to keep you warm on a cold day. It is a must in Rajasthani festive or wedding menu.

Here, we are sharing two simple techniques to make batis in oven. But, irrespective of different techniques, one thing is common ……that batis are always served with loads of desi ghee !



Rajasthani Menu Plan -

For a wholesome spread, serve batis with kali masoor dal along with methi moong dal khichidi , lehsun ka achaar and home made bel ka sharbat which is very soothing and refreshing in summers.

Recipe Ingredients

  • Wheat flour – 3 cups
  • Semolina/Rava – 1/2 cup
  • Carom seeds – 1 tsp
  • Onion seeds – 1/2 tap (Optional)
  • Baking powder – 1/4 tsp
  • Ghee/vegetable oil – 4-5 tsp
  • Salt – To taste (Optional)
  • Water – As required to make dough

For serving –

  • Desi ghee (Indian clarified butter)

How to make Rajasthani Bati

  • Mix all the ingredients and knead into a dough with water. Cover with a wet muslin cloth and keep it to rest for 15-20 minutes.
  • Now, grease your palms with little oil and make medium size balls of this dough.

After this stage there are 2 ways to make the ‘Batis’-

Technique 1 –

Grease a baking tray with oil and place the bati balls leaving about 2 inch space in between. Bake these batis in a pre heated oven at 200 degrees for 30 -40 minutes or till the batis turn brown. Keep turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Dip these batis in desi ghee and serve.

Technique 2 –

This method involves boiling the bati balls and then deep frying or baking them. The batis made this way are also called ‘Bafla Batis’. Here’s the detailed procedure ……

…..boil sufficient water in a vessel and gently slide in the balls. After 5-7 minutes you will notice that balls have gained little volume and are floating on the upper surface of water. Now, remove from heat and transfer the boiled batis on a plate. You can either deep fry these batis or bake in oven/electric tandoor.

For baking, grease a baking tray with oil and place the batis. Bake in a pre heated oven till brown.

Our ‘Rajasthani Batis’ are ready. Dip into lots of desi ghee and serve with ‘Rajasthani Panchmael Dal ‘ for that popular mouth watering combo.

Tip

You can stuff the batis with boiled potato or paneer mixture. Make sure that you make it spicy enough to match the true Rajasthani flavor.
