Baati is a hard wheat-flour roll baked over coals or in an oven and finished in ghee, served with dal and churma, a sweet made by crushing baked dough with ghee and sugar or jaggery. Wikipedia says information on the dish's origins is scarce and the tale of soldiers baking dough in sand is anecdotal. Condé Nast Traveller India's Jaipur contributors split on style: one family mixes baati, dal and churma on the plate, another praises a Sindhi Camp dhaba for baatis fried crisp.
