It consists of <strong>Dal</strong> (lentil curry) served with <strong>Bati</strong> (baked wheat flour dumplings), often drenched in ghee.</p> <p><img src="https://arshadhs.github.io/images/recipe/daal-baati.jpeg" alt="Daal-Baati" /></p> <p>I first tasted it at a Rajasthani friend’s place and have always requested them for it ever since. There are two common variations of <em>Bati</em> — one with a filling, and one without. I personally prefer the one with a filling.</p>https://arshadhs.github.io/docs/recipe/veg/rajasthanidaal/Sun, 21 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100https://arshadhs.github.io/docs/recipe/veg/rajasthanidaal/<p>This recipe is courtesy of our family friends from Rajasthan — shared exactly as they make it.
