    Rajasthan is a land of valor and romance. There is a proud history in every inch of land. Rajasthani food tantalizes your taste buds and fills you with comfort and satisfaction. It is a place very close to my heart. Rajasthani cuisine has a lot of flavor and color. People also use a lot of millets instead of rice and wheat. Spicy dal, ghee, yogurt give it a yellowish red hue. Dal Bati churma, mirchi bada, pyaz ki kachori, gatte ki kadhi, ghevar, ker sangri, lal maas, safed maas, bajre ka khichda. The list is endless and yum. In the olden days, vegetables, water and fruits were scarce. state of Rajasthan is primarily Thar desert and has less vegetation. Thus, traditional recipes involves using less veggies and water. Use of local grains,generous amount of ghee and spices adds to the charm of the desert. 

    This is a special dish for a Sunday brunch. We serve bati or roasted dough balls along with dal and churma. Nowadays, you can make it in an oven. It is quite similar to Dal Bafla and Litti chokha.

    How do we eat daal baati choorma?

    Litti and bati both are crushed and mixed with loads of ghee. Chokha/dal is poured over it. Pickled onions lemon and green chilly are served along with the meal. Nowadays, you can also make bati in microwave oven.

    Dal is also a specialty in itself. Panchmel or Panchratna dal is a combination of 5 lentils-urad, tuvar, masoor, moong and chana. This has a great flavor due to varied textures. Churma is a sweet coarse powder of few dough balls. It is also similar to Dal Bafla in MP and Litti chokha or Bihar.

    FAQ

    Is Dal baati different from Litti Chokha ?

    Litti is stuffed with sattu flour a cereal mix, very popular in Bihar. Chokha is made of brinjal mash. Both dal baati and Litti chokha are eaten in a similar fashion.

    how to make dal bati churma in oven?

    Traditionally, we make the bati on coal/wood. The closest we can get to cooking the bati in traditional method in the modern days is on a grill/barbecue. You can also cook it in a convection oven. Just ensure you cook it from all sides.

    Storage

    You can cook the bati in advance, to keep them moist for the next few days, dip them in ghee. Store them in the fridge and reheat them in the oven / air fryer for 5 minutes to make them fresh again.

    For the dal, keep the boiled dal in fridge for future use. Make the tadka/tempering before serving. If you cook onions and add that to the dal in advance, it won't seem fresh the next day.

    Conclusion: Baati and choorma can be made and stored for a longer time. Dal can be made fresh. This helps you savor this traditional dish even on a weekday.
