1

Prepare the dal by mixing 1/4 cup each of chana, urad, masoor, moong, and arhar dal in a pressure cooker.

2

Wash the dal 2-3 times with water.

3

Add 3 cups of water and 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, along with salt to taste.

4

Close the pressure cooker and cook on medium flame for 6 whistles.

5

While the dal is cooking, prepare the baati by mixing 2 cups of wheat flour and 1/3 cup of semolina in a bowl.

6

Add 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp baking soda, then mix well.

7

Incorporate 3 tbsp of ghee into the flour mixture until crumbly.

8

Gradually add hot water and knead into a stiff dough, then let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

9

Preheat a traditional oven at low flame for 10 minutes.

10

Divide the dough into balls and shape them into baatis, making them hollow or flat as desired.

11

Place the baatis in the preheated oven and cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping them occasionally.

12

Check the dal after the pressure cooker has cooled down; if thick, add hot water to thin it out.

13

In a pan, heat 3 tbsp of oil and 2 tbsp of ghee for tempering.

14

Add 1/2 tsp asafoetida, 1 tsp cumin seeds, and 2 bay leaves.

Once fragrant, add 1 cup of chopped onion and sauté until translucent.

16

Stir in 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste and cook for half a minute.

17

Add 2 large chopped tomatoes and some salt to help them cook down.

18

Once soft, mix in 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp red chili powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1/4 tsp black pepper powder, and 1/2 tsp garam masala powder.
