Recipe

Mix whole wheat flour, semolina, salt, ajwain, and melted ghee in a bowl.

Add lukewarm water gradually to knead a stiff, firm dough.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into round, slightly indented baatis.

Bake the baatis in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius until golden brown and cooked through.

Boil the mixed lentils with turmeric and salt until soft, then temper with cumin, garlic, and spices.

Crush a few baked baatis, mix with powdered sugar and cardamom to make churma.

Serve the hot baatis generously drowned in warm ghee, accompanied by the spicy dal and sweet churma.
