Malwa's Baati

Dal Baati is an Indian dish comprising some lentils & wheat flour rolls. It is mostly liked in regions such as Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh & Madhya Pradesh specially in Malwa region.

Baati is prepared by mixing wheat flour (aata) with some baking soda, salt , fresh cream & water. These round flattened balls are then deep fried in ghee & served.

A variation of Baati is Bafla which is a bit softer because it is boiled in water before frying. Although both tastes almost similar only the procedure differs. Since baati is prepared using aata so it leaves you thirsty after having meal. Try drinking more & more water after having baati in your meal.

Now here is step by step procedure on how to cook Malwa's special Baati.


Ingredients

Wheat flour (not too fine) - 2 cups
Water (lukewarm) - as per requirement to knead a firm dough
Baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon
Fresh cream - 1 1/2 tablespoon

How to cook

Take a large thali & mix all the ingredients together, knead a firm dough.

Make small round balls out of it and flatten them. 



Now put on flame a tawa for roasting baati.



Repeat the same process with remaining baati.


 In the meanwhile put on flame a frying pan with sufficient ghee in it.


Upon heating deep fry the baati's until they turn golden in color.


Dish them out and do the same with other flattened balls.


Enjoy !!!!!

Will soon update receipes of dal & churma. Till then enjoy baati with simple tuvar dal & green salad, it too tastes delicious.
