IN JAIPUR, WHAT TO
EAT
Dal Batti Churma (Dal Batti
Churma) - Dal-batti-churma is a wholesome
Rajasthani food that is recognised as a Rajasthan
specialty. Dal, or lentil curry, is served with
Bhatti, a stuffed flour roundel baked over coals or
in the oven. Choorma is a sweet dish made with ghee,
flour, and jaggery or sugar. Bhatti comes in a
variety of flavours and can be used in place of
rotis. You can go with plain batti or go for
something more exotic like masala, dry fruit, or
missi battis. Batti is made with a lot of ghee and
wheat, flour, millet, or a blend of corn and wheat
flour. In addition, churma comes in an endless
variety of colours, depending on the ingredients.
