How to Make Stuffed Bati

For the Baati Dough:

In a big bowl, add the wheat flour. Add the salt, baking powder, and ghee. Mix everything together with clean hands.
2.
Now sprinkle water and make a stiff dough. Allow the Batis Dough to rest for half an hour

For the Stuffing:

1.
In a kadai, add oil and heat. Now, add the grated ginger and saute.
2.
Then, add the chopped onions and stir-fry till translucent.
3.
Now, add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, jeera powder, red chilli powder and amchoor powder and stir-fry quickly.
4.
Just add a few teaspoons of water to the above powder so that everything is de-glazed.
5.
Now, add the chopped tomatoes and cook everything together. Add crumbled paneer and toss and mix everything well. Add salt.
6.
Now, your stuffing for the baatis is ready.

How to Prepare:

1.
Make balls from the wheat flour dough. Take each ball and pat with your hands to make a puri.
2.
Stuff 2 tsp of the paneer filling into the puri.
3.
Pull up the edges and shape the puri back into a stuffed ball or stuffed baati.
4.
Do the same with all the wheat flour dough balls.
5.
Now, microwave for 4 or 5 minutes in high. Allow standing time of 2 minutes.
6.
Drown each Stuffed Batis in a bowl of ghee and see the golden Batis shine with the ghee bath. (You can skip this step and be guilt-free).
7.
Serve with dal or with any chutney of your choice.
