Daal-Baati (baked Baati)

In my first version of Dal Bati, I shared Khandeshi style Dal bati recipe which is very common in our house. As it is deep fried I tried typical Rajasthan style baked bati and dal . It tastes awesome. A complete whole meal off course with lots of ghee.

Garam Masala- 1/2 teaspoon
Coriander Powder - 1 teaspoon
Red chilli powder - 1 teaspoon
Pure ghee - 2 tablespoon
Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Asafetida - 1/8 teaspoon
Salt as per taste
Chopped fresh Coriander for Garnishing

For Bati
Whole wheat flour - 3 cups
Semolina - 1 cup
Pure ghee - 5 tablespoon
Ajwain - 1 teaspoon
Baking Powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Salt as per  taste

Procedure

For Dal

Soak all dal for an hour. After that cook it in a pressure cooker. Make a paste of tomato, green chilli and ginger. Now heat a kadai  and put ghee into it.  Then add cumin seeds and asafetida. After that add  turmeric powder and coriander powder.  Now add tomato paste and sauté it neatly.  Then add red chilli powder and salt. Mix it neatly. Sauté it for 2 minutes.  Now add cooked daal.  Add water as per require for desired consistency.   Boil it for a minute or so. Garnish it with chopped  fresh coriander. Dal is ready. 
For Bati
Take all ingredients of Bati in a bowl and mix wel. Now knead a very hard dough with warm water. The dough should not be smooth at all. Cover it with damp cloth. Now preheat  oven on 180 degree Celsius. Meanwhile make small balls of the dough. Press each ball slightly and press with a finger in the centre. So that bati will get cooked properly from inside in oven.  Arrange baatis in oven tray. Brush it with ghee. Bake it for 20 minutes. Turn batis when it gets golden brown colour on one side.

Vade Saguti OR Kombdi Vade

Vade sguti or Komdi vade is a staple dish of Malvan. Malvan is a town located in Sindhudurg District - southernmost district of Maharashtra. This is a coastal area. By name you must have thought that it must be some snacks or type of crispy Vada. But here Vada is multigrain  puris. We had our Potluck party on last weekend, so my friend Vaishali made vade and solkadhi, and Manasi made special Malvani Chicken curry. I prepared 'kaju curry' for vegetarian people. Vade is a must try dish and vegetarian can also eat it with kaju curry or any other sprout curry.

Procedure
For Vade flour
Wash rice neatly. Drain water from it and allow it to get dry overnight. Now dry roast urad daal, chana daal, coriander seeds and fenugreek seeds one by one till it becomes slightly brown. Cool it and mix it with rice and jowar. Grind together in flour mill. Vade flour is ready. Store it in a airtight container.
 While making vade, take  2 cups of Vade flour, whole wheat flour and salt in a bowl and mix well.  Add 1 cup of  warm water and mix it ( don't knead it) , cover it and keep it aside. After an hour or so knead it with oil and little water and make a firm smooth dough. Now heat oil in kadai. Take a plastic sheet and grease it slightly with oil. Take a lemon size ball of a dough. Make a Puri of it by pressing with palm. Deep fry it on medium flame till it turn to golden brown. Vade is ready to serve.
 

Serve it with Malvani Chicken and Solkadhi.
Vegeterians serve it with kaju curry or any other sprout curry and Solkadhi.
