Dal Batti in appam

#goldenapron #post4 Dal Batti is a traditional Rajasthani cuisine. Though I have a special knack for this recipe and want to try it but could not try since I do not have Batti oven and gas tandoor. Followed all the steps with a twist at the end... cooked it in Appam Patra (Appe pan) instead of frying or baking it in oven. It was delicious and my family enjoyed it a lot. Hope you all like it too!!! Special thanks to #Kiran_Vyas mam for sharing their version of Dal Batti which inspired me for giving it a try.
