Equipment

  • 1 Skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 cup wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup chana dal
  • 1/4 teaspoon garam masala powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon coriander leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon urad dal
  • 1/4 cup moong dal green
  • 1/2 tablespoon ghee
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 2 pinches salt
  • 1/4 inch ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1/4 cup toor daal

For Dough

  • 1/2 tablespoon semolina
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon ghee

Instructions

  • Take a glass basin and fill it with wheat flour, rawa, salt, and ghee to make the baatis. Knead a very firm dough with warm water using your hands. The dough should be rolled into a ping pong ball size. The dough balls should be roasted for a bit on low heat while a gas tandoor is heating up. Make that they are crusty and brown.
  • After that, split it open from the top and brush the halves with some brand-new ghee. Then, wash all the dals together, add 1 cup of water, and 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric to make the dal. The dals are pressure cooked for two whistles. After the cooker has cooled, take the dal out.
  • To produce a thin paste, combine all the spice powders with 1/2 cup of water. Cumin and coriander seeds are added to ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Add ginger once they start to sputter. After adding the spice powder paste and cooking it for a minute, add the cooked dal.
  • Add lemon juice and coriander leaves as a garnish to the dal.
