Marvari Dal Bati









reposting for the event flavour of rajasthan
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.

Ingredients:

Wheat flour - 2 cups

Ghee - 4 tbsp

Toor Dal - 1/2 cup

Urad Dal - 1/2 cup

Chana Dal - 1/4 cup
Moong (yellow) - 1/4 cup
Masoor dal (Red Dal) - 1/4 cup

onion - 2 medium, chopped

Tamato - 2, chopped

Ginger - 1 inch peice, finely chopped
Fennel seeds - 2 tbsp

Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp

Red Chilly Powder - 1/2 tsp

Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp

Garam masala - 1/4 tsp

Salt to taste

Cooking Oil for frying



Method for Bati

Mix 2 tbsp ghee, salt and fennel seeds in wheat flour and knead it to a soft dough. Make small balls.








Bati Balls

Boil water in a deep pan and put the balls into the water. After 15 - 2- minutes, when bati balls are cooked, strain water and keep it aside for cooling. Cut bati into two halves. It will look like this:









Bati boiled and cut

After it cools down, deep fry bati peices in oil till golden brown. Bati is ready.
