    Dal Bati Churma is a traditional Rajasthani treat.The spicy dal with the sweet churma along with deep fried crunchy batis, its such a treat.Few weeks when I was googling saw a dal bati churma picture which tempted me so much that I decided to try it the next day itself.After waving bye to mittu, reached out to a near by store to get the missing ingredients and started it right away.I got an idea of the recipe from my north indian neighbour but for measurements I referred Tarla Dalal.

    Right from searching for the recipe to cooking,clicking and plating it, I enjoyed the entire process thoroughly.And how can I forget to mention about eating 😉 I just love north indian cuisine so much that I had a feast having this dal bati churma as brunch :).I loved to have churma as such it was soo yum.Do try this heavenly combo and enjoy yourself.

    Dal Bati Churma Recipe
    Though bati and churma patties recipes are almost similar, as given in the orginal recipe I followed 2 different recipes with slight variations.You can use the same bati recipe, deep fry and make churma for easy shortcut thats what my neighbour suggested too.She said as its heavy they make only when there is any occassion or special guests arrive.

    • a pinch hing

    FOR BATI:

    • 1 cup whole wheat flour
    • 1/4 cup fine sooji / rava
    • 2 tablespoon besan flour
    • 1/2 cup milk
    • 3 tablespoon melted ghee
    • 1/4 teaspoon ajwain

    FOR CHURMA:

    • 4 teaspoon melted ghee
    • 2 tablespoon almond slivers
    • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
    • 4 tablespoon powdered sugar
    • melted ghee / oil for deep frying

    FOR SERVING:

    • lemon juice
    • raw onion chopped
    • ghee

    Instructions

    DAL:

    • Rinse the dals well and pressure cook for 5 whistles along with a pinch of turmeric powder, salt and 3 cups of water.
    • Once pressure releases, mash it well with a ladle and set aside.
    • In a pan heat ghee – add the items listed under ‘to temper’ and let it splutter.
    • Add chopped onion, garlic and saute till onions turn transparent.
    • Then add tomatoes along with red chilli, turmeric, coriander and garam masala powders along with salt (adjust as we have already added in dal).
    • Sauté for few mins until raw smell of tomatoes leave.
    • Now add mashed dal and mix well.
    • Let the dal boil for 5 mins, add little water if its too thick.
    • Finally garnish with coriander leaves and switch off.

    BATI:

    • In a mixing bowl – take all the ingredients listed under ‘for bati’, mix well and knead it together to form a stiff dough.
    • Divide the dough into small balls and flatten them using your palms.
    • Make a small indentation in the centre of the baatis using your thumb.
    • Arrange them in a baking tray.
    • Preheat oven at 180 deg C for 10mins.
    • Bake in preheated oven for at least 25-30mins or until the top turns golden.
    • When it is still hot, brush with ghee.

    CHURMA:

    • In a mixing bowl -take wheat flour, rava and ghee, add water to form a stiff dough.
    • Make patties with your palms with a indentation at the center.
    • Heat oil (you can use ghee too) and deep fry the patties in hot oil till golden brown.
    • Turn over and cook for even cooking, cook in low medium flame.
    • Drain in tissue paper and set aside to cool down.
    • Once it is completely cool, break them into small pieces and grind it using a mixer.
    • Grind it a little coarse. I did it in batches as I used my small mixie jar.
    • Collect the mixture in a bowl, add powdered sugar and cardamom powder and mix well.
    • Chop almonds lengthwise add it along with ghee and give a quick mix.

    Serving Suggestion :

    • Heat the dal again till piping hot.
    • Break the baatis and place it in serving plate, pour dal over it, drizzle ghee and sprinkle chopped onions, add lemon juice and have it with churma.
    • I loved to have it soaked for while then have it to enjoy the full flavours.

    Notes

    • You can make churma a day before and refrigerate it.
    • Traditionally batis are deep fried in ghee but I used oil.
    • You can turn over the batis to other side after 10 mins for even baking.
    • The baatis are meant to have cracks as we have a stiff dough.
    • Use ghee generously that's the specialty of the dish.

        I am not sure of microwaving, you can try and see…the patties should be crisp only then you can powder it so microwave accordingly
