Make Bati without oven

I have been asked many times – How can we make bati without oven/ tandoor ? In my earlier recipe I have shown baati being cooked in the oven. Today let’s learn how baati can be cooked without oven. It’s very simple – the trick to a perfect baati is the heat. Gas mark should be on MEDIUM LOW to get the correct texture of baatis. MEDIUM LOW is in between the gas mark Medium and low. 

Use a heavy bottom pan for this and place a strainer/channi inside it. Greasing the strainer will prevent baatis sticking to it. Keep turning them occasionally after every 10 -15 minutes. If in the initial turn baatis are stuck to the strainer – don’t worry use a tong to hold the strainer and with the help of a fork gently apply force to the baatis to turn them over. Baatis will be cooked in 30 – 35 minutes. Enjoy them with dal and churma.

Baatis are generously dipped in ghee and eaten with dal  and churma on the side. In Rajasthan along with the whole meal extra bowl of ghee is served to pour over dal baati mixture. Sounds too much… believe me it’s yummylicious. Pamper your taste buds for once, indulge in this rich delicacy of Rajasthan and then let’s head to the gym 🙂

    Hey there, thanks for this recipe. Have a question, can I reduce the amount of oil? Do you need so much for the baatis to come out well or can I reduce and still get the great texture?

    • RK says:

      Thanks for stopping by Maria! It’s the oil that keep these baatis soft if cooked over the flame.This is the minimum oil that you can add to the baatis if cooking them over the stove. But if using convention oven to bake the baatis; add just 1 tablespoon oil.Baking in oven would take 20 minutes @ 400 degree F whereas baatis cooked over the flame/cooktop take around 30-35 minutes and they may dry out and become hard if there is not enough oil in the dough. Hope that helps!
