One of the key ingredients that adds a distinct and delicious flavor to Baati Chokha is desi ghee. Desi ghee is clarified butter made from cow's milk, and it is widely used in Indian cuisine for its rich, nutty flavor.
When baati is prepared using desi ghee, it enhances the taste and aroma of the dish. The baati is typically made by kneading wheat flour with ghee, salt, and water to form a stiff dough. The dough is then shaped into small round balls and roasted in a tandoor (traditional clay oven) or an oven until it becomes golden brown and crispy on the outside while remaining soft and fluffy on the inside. The baati is then smothered with more desi ghee to make it even more flavorful.
