About the Dish: Dal Bati Churma
Krishna Dal Bati Restro pays tribute to this iconic dish, which has a fascinating history rooted in Rajasthan.
Dal Bati's Origin: Legend suggests the dish originated during the time of Bappa Rawal, where Rajput soldiers would prepare the Bati (wheat dough balls) as a convenient wartime meal by burying them under the sand to be baked by the sun.
Churma's Origin: The sweet Churma is said to have been an accidental invention when a cook poured sugarcane juice over some Bati, softening them.
