Baati

Rajasthani food is incomplete without the mention of the famed Daal-Baati-Churma. This was started as a picnic food. It consists of baatis or flaky round breads baked over firewood or over kandas (i.e. cow dung cakes) and can be baked in a gas tandoor or an electric oven as well.

Baati

Ingredients (18-20 Baatis)

• Whole Wheat Flour – 3 cups
• Refined Oil – 75 ml
• Salt – ¾ tsp
