A Rajasthani meal without baati is considered incomplete! Understandably, there are several traditional as well as innovative and new recipes of baati that are prepared in the region.


Here is a lip-smacking version of Masala Baati made with a flavourful stuffing of green peas. Note that the baatis are cooked in boiling water and cooled before deep-frying. Do not try to skip this step as the baatis will not taste authentic, and might also disintegrate in the oil.

It is one of the recipe you should try without any doubt. Though it is time consuming, it is worth the time and effort you put in. The stuffing gives a real good taste to baati.

I like the stuffing and had tried in oven but in 10-15 minutes it never gets cooked so I have to cook them for more time and then it doesnt break easily with spoon.
