Masala Baati

Masala Baati is a Rajasthani Bread which is made by stuffing dough with a mixture of potato, peas and spices. It is served with dal or a spicy chutney on the side. Here is how to make Masala Bati.

Rajasthani dishes are rich, layered and carry very traditional tastes. Masala Baati is one such dish, similar to Bihari Litti, and is soft dough stuffed with delicious potatoes, peas mixed with spices.

Growing up, baatis were frequently prepared in our home, and they made a great replacement for regular breads and were also eaten as snacks. They are sometimes boiled before deep frying, but in this recipe, I have baked them and when coated with ghee, are great to munch on. You can even wary the filling if you like.

These baatis can be enjoyed with Dal or Dahi Ki Chutney or even Khajoor Imli Ki Chutney for a change. Here is how to make Masala Baati.
