For Churma bati make 7..8 small balls and shape in  roll to identify that they are Churma bati 

*Preheat the oven to 180 C and bake the bati in the oven for about 20 to 30 minutes until browned on both sides.

*Once the batis are golden brown in color from all sides, remove them from the oven.

You can remove those which are done and let other cook.

Once removed from the oven or gas press the bati gently so that it will crack but will not brake.

Dip them in liquid home made Ghee, take out and store in a container.

In this way prepare all the bati.
