For dal Split moong dal 1/4 cup Channa dal 1 tblsp Ghee 2 tsp + 2 tsp (for serving) Turmeric powder 1/4 tsp Garlic 2 pods Red chili powder 1/2 tsp Red chili 2 Salt as needed For potato stuffing Potato 1 small Ginger a small piece Garlic 2 pods Green chili 1 Salt as needed Asafoetida a pinch Coriander powder 1/2 tsp Cumin powder | jeera powder 1/4 tsp Amchoor powder 2 pinches For baati Atta | whole wheat flour 3/4 cup Ajwain| omam a pinch Salt as needed Ghee 2 tsp
Wash and cook the dal with enough water, in a pressure cooker.
In a bowl add atta, ghee, ajwain and salt. Mix well and add water little by little to make it a stiff dough.
Cover it and keep it aside for 10 minutes. Boil and mash the potato. Grind the ginger, garlic and green chili into a paste. In a bowl add the mashed potato, ground paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, asafoetida and amchoor powder. Mix well evenly.
Make equal big lemon sized balls of the dough. Using your hands make a dent in the middle for stuffing the potato. If you are not making any stuffing, just make the dough into balls and continue with the baking process. Stuff little potato mixture into the dent.
Close it carefully and make it like a ball. the same procedure how we do for aloo paratha.
Grease a baking tray and bake in a preheated(5 minutes) oven at 160 degrees for 45 minutes or till the top portion becomes golden brown. Mine got over by 35 minutes. Brush it with ghee before you put it into the oven.
While it is getting baked, let’s keep the dal ready. Add ghee in a pan. Slice the garlic into thin long pieces. Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, broken red chili and garlic to the pan. Keep the flame low and do not get it burnt. Add the cooked dal to this and add 1 cup of water.
Boil this for 5-7 minutes and switch off the flame.
Dal is ready and baati is also ready. Let’s assemble the dal baati. Break the baati with your hands and add it in a bowl. Pour hot dal on this and spoon in the ghee . Serve immediately.
I changed the serving plate while taking the main pictures of the dal baati recipe.
