Instructions

Step 1

To begin making the Dal Baati Churma Recipe, we will first making the bati

Step 2

Combine all the ingredients for the Bati together, except the jaggery until well combined

Step 3

Add water to combine it well and make a smooth and yet stiff dough

Step 4

Leave the bati dough aside for 20 minutes so it rests and becomes fluffy with the baking powder that we added

Step 5

 Once the baat dough is well rested, knead again for a few minutes

Step 6

 Divide the dough in large lemon size portions (about 12 to 15 of them)

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 180 C and bake the bati in the oven for about 20 to 30 minutes until browned on both sides

Step 8

Make sure to keep turning the baatis around, until it is browned from all sides

Step 9

The batis will tend to crack from the top while it is baking and that's completely natural

Step 10

 Once the batis are golden brown in color from all sides, remove them from the oven

Step 11

For the churma, I usually make it from the same baked bati balls

Step 12

Take 3 to 4 of them, crush them and combine them with jaggery in a mixer to make a coarse powder

Step 13

And that's it, churma is ready

Step 14

The salt from the batis does not overwhelm the taste and tastes perfectly fine

Step 15

The next step is to make the dal for the dal bati

Step 16

 To make the dal, add all the ingredients into the pressure cooker, except the ingredients for the tadkaAdd 2-1-/2 cups of water and pressure-cook the dal for two to three whistles

Step 17

After two whistles, turn the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes and turn off the heat

Step 18

Once the pressure is released completely, open the cooker and your dal is ready

Step 19

Check the salt and spices and adjust to suit your taste

Step 20

Transfer the dal to a serving bowl

Step 21

The next step is to make the tadka

Step 22

Heat ghee in a small pan, add the cumin seeds and red chilies

Step 23

Allow them to roast and crackle

Step 24

Once done, turn off the heat and pour the seasoning over the dal and serve with the hot baatis

Step 25

Serving baatis are usually done in individual portions and bowls

Step 26

In a small serving bowl, add 2 batis, lightly crush them, drizzle some ghee over the baked baatis

Step 27

Pour the dal over the baked baatis and serve

Step 28

I personally like to add the churma over the baatis as well to give it a sweet touch and a delicious taste as well

Step 29

Serve the Rajasthani Dal Bati Churma for a wholesome weekend lunch or even for parties with friends
