Traditionally, baati is prepared in the tandoori oven. You can even bake baati in the conventional oven. This paniyaram pan method also works well, baati turns out similar to the oven baked baatis. The baatis made in paniyaram pan are also used to make the delicious churma laddoo.  Churma laddoo is a delicious sweet made with deep fried baatis, jaggery, and ghee. You can make hard and perfect baatis in the paniyaram pan using the less amount of ghee. Churma ladoos are my favorite I made baatis and enjoyed with dal for dinner and saved the remaining baatis for churma ladoo. Today, I am going to prepare churma ladoo.

2. The dough for baati is similar to the chapati dough but it should be slightly firm and tight.
