Dal Bati

#boxweek6 Dal Bati is an universal cuisine from Rajasthan which once tasted will linger in ones mouth. Though the full course is Dal Bati Churma, I stuck to Dal Bati only. Let’s get cracking

Ingredient

Food ration :

3 people

Cooking time :

Preparation time-10 mins, Cooking time-1 hr

2 tsp

Water adequately to knead the dough

2 Tbsp

Few sprigs of coriander leaves chopped

As required

For Bati to be soaked in ghee 1 cup melted ghee in a bowl

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

For Bati - in a bowl add whole wheat flour, carrom seeds, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, salt and ghee. Mix the whole spices so well that ghee coats the entire wheat flour. Add adequate water to make a stiff dough

* Step 2

Keep it covered for 15 mins by a muslin cloth

* Step 3

Make Balls of medium size and shape in such a way that it’s smooth on top and some cracks at the bottom.

* Step 4

I used a Tandoor and smeared with ghee and placed the Bati balls on it. With a tong I roasted for 5-6 mins each side.

* Step 5

To know whether it’s cooked, one has to break and see whether the inside is cooked. Once done immediately dip it in melted ghee

* Step 6

Keep the Bati dipped in ghee for 10 mins so that all ghee gets inside the Bati.

* Step 7

For Dal - wash all the Dals together and in a pressure cooker add the Dals, turmeric powder and salt and cook for 5 whistles. Set aside

* Step 8

In a wok heat ghee and add coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, chopped garlic and chopped green chillies, whole red chillies. Cool for the garlic to turn little brown in colour.

* Step 9

Add hing, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, garam masala powder, coriander powder, dry kasoori Methi powder, chopped ginger, chopped coriander leaves and stir for 2-3 mins.
