Whole Wheat flour - 3 cups
Salt to taste
Ghee
Water

Knead the dough first with a little ghee and then with water as you would for chapatis/ rotis. It should be firm and not too soft. Line a baking tray with ghee. Apply a little ghee on you palms, break off a medium sized ball from the wheat dough and roll it between your palms to give roughly roundish shape.


Do not roll them into very smooth balls .. the broken sides will make them crispy.
Bake at 225 F for two and a half hours. Flip them over after around an hour.

For Churma:
A few Batis
Sugar to taste
Elaichi / cardamom ( optional )
Ghee
Break the baatis (and the ghee + elachi , if using ) and run in a mixer for a coarse powder.
Remove and mix the sugar well.
Serve with the Dal and Baati.
