*We will first make the bati as well as Churma Bati 

*Combine all the ingredients for the Bati  together and mix properly.

Add water to it and make a smooth and yet stiff dough. 

*For Churma bati mix wheat flour and Semolina, Oil/ ghee and make a dough using water just as above.

*Let the both bati dough rest aside for 30 minutes.

*Knead the dough properly.

Divide the dough in large lemon size portions (about 15 to 16 of them).

Make even round and press in the centre with the help of a thumb.

This will help to cook it properly.

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.

*I have baked it on my Gas Tandoor on medium flame for 30...35 minutes till light brown. Or

*You can preheat a big kadhai or pan...add 2 Cups salt, place some table pot stand and place the aluminium container having bati in it. Cook on medium flame till light brown approximately for 30 minutes.

*Make sure to keep turning the baatis around, until it is browned from all sides. The batis may get crack...but no need to worry.

*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.

*For the churma... 

 Brake the Churma bati with your hands and  grind them with bura Sugar/ jaggery in a mixer to make a coarse powder.

Add liquid Ghee, cardamom powder, chopped dryfruits, and mix properly.
