Dal Batti Churma
Recognised as a Rajasthan speciality, Dal-batti-churma, is a
wholesome Rajasthani meal. Dal, or lentil curry, is served with
Bhatti, a roundel of stuffed flour that's baked in a charcoal
fire or oven. Choorma is a sweet dish made with flour, jaggery
or sugar and ghee.
Bhatti comes in varieties acts as a substitute for rotis.
You could opt for plain batti, or try the more exotic masala,
dry fruit or missi battis. Batti is made out of wheat,
flour, millet or a mix of maize and wheat flour, with loads of ghee.
There is also an unending variety in churma - the colour of
which depends on the ingredients. To relish Dal-bhatti-churma at
a nominal expense, check out the dhabas near Sindhi Camp (Central) Bus
Stand.

makeshift handcarts by the roadside.
