Dal Bati Churma - Best Known Rajasthani Food
Dal Bati Choorma is a Rajasthani Dish which has three main servings - Dal(lentil),
Bati (baked wheat balls) and Choorma (sweet cereal powder). Dal is served with Bati
and Churma.
The preparations take longer as compared to other Indian dishes as all the three
servings are prepared separately.
It is one of the most common preparation in all kinds of functions, including religious
occasions, wedding ceremonies and birthday parties in Rajasthan. One of the reasons
for this, apart from being delicious is that it is easy to cook even for a large
group of people.
Dal Bati Churma is usually served either during the lunch time or dinner time. The
more ghee you use in this recipe, the better it tastes. The city of Jodhpur, Jaipur
and Jaisalmer are famous for this Rajasthani dish.
