Rajasthani men cook Baati at Pushkar camel fair. Dal Bati Churma is the traditional food of Rajasthan. Baati (little doughballs made of wheat flour, ghee, and milk) is believed to have originated during the time of Bappa Rawal – the founder of the kingdom of Mewar. Back then, the Rajputs were establishing their stronghold in the region and Baati was their preferred wartime meal. It is believed that the Rajput soldiers would break the dough into chunks and leave it buried under thin layers of sand to bake under the sun. On their return from the battlefield, they would dig out the perfectly baked Baatis that were then slathered with ghee and consumed with curd made from goat or camel milk.
