Dal bati is a famous traditional dish of Rajasthan. Bati is a hard bread made with atta. It can be fried or baked. Dal is made from five types of lentils. So it is called panchmel dal. Generous amount of ghee is used in making dal bati as it enhances taste and flavour of this dish. I mostly make dal bati during winter for dinner.
