Dal Bati Churma Recipe

Though bati and churma patties recipes are almost similar, as given in the orginal recipe I followed 2 different recipes with slight variations.You can use the same bati recipe, deep fry and make churma for easy shortcut thats what my neighbour suggested too.She said as its heavy they make only when there is any occassion or special guests arrive.

Dal Bati Churma Recipe
My Notes:
*You can make churma a day before and refrigerate it.
*Traditionally batis are deep fried in ghee but I used oil.
*You can turn over the batis to other side after 10 mins for even baking.
*The baatis are meant to have cracks as we have a stiff dough.
*Use ghee generously thats the speciality of the dish.
