Dal-Baati
Dal-Baati is liked in Rajasthan as much as it is liked in the country and the world. The history of Dal-Baati is connected to Rajasthan. Baati was not born in any royal kitchen but in the battlefield. Once the soldiers made balls of flour and buried them in the soil in the hot sun and then when they returned, they saw that the balls of flour had cooked well. Since then, it became a convenient food for Rajput soldiers to eat during war. They used to cook by burying them in sand and then eat it by adding ghee.
Later, Baati was transformed into a royal food and Daal and Churma were also included with Baati.
