Rajasthani Dal Bati Churma Recipe | Dhaba Style recipe

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
