Dal Bati Churma goes back a long way. “Being a desert state, the people of Rajasthan used to make food that could be preserved for longer periods of time. In many foods, ghee is used as a preservative as it is used in Dal Bati Churma. People also had to cover large distances and so it became important to make a meal that was strengthening and sustaining at the same time,”
A meal in itself, Dal Bati Churma has good proportions of protein (dal), carbohydrate (wheat and vegetables) and fats. It is also similar to litti, a Bihari dish.
