Dal-Bati-Churma is a complete one dish
and very popular Rajasthan, India. Traditional way to serve it is to first
squash the Bati then pouring the pure Ghee on the top of it. It is served with
the yellow color daal (lentils) and spicy garlic chutney. It is commonly served
at all festivities, including religious occasions, wedding ceremonies, and
birthday parties in Rajasthan.

“Dal-Baati-Churma”, is a
combination of three different food items – Daal (lentils), Baati and Churma
(Sweet). It is a typical Rajasthani dish. Daal- is normally made of lentils and
can be little bit spicy. Baati- is made of wheat floor. Churma- is a sweet,
made of wheat flour, sugar and dry fruits. Ghee is an important ingredient in
all the three items.

Panchmel Dal

Bati

Bati recipe is taken from Taral dalal Food site as per instruction of Bati ingredients only. But for dal and churma, I prefer to use my mom’s style of cooking. As traditional Bati is prepared in tandoor but I prefer to boil first and then fry in oil till to golden. For boiling this bati, you can use steamer too. Personally prefer to make churma through parathas with sugar and cardamom for flavourful churma. You can add ground nuts in this while making ladoo of churma’s.
