Dal Bafla with Lahsun Til Chutny

I am from Malva Madhya Pradesh.Dish Dal Bafla is one of the popular Rajasthani food which is also famous in Malwa Regions. Traditionaly bafla was baked over firewood or cow dung cake and then served with ghee.


Bafla is a variation of baati, the dough is same for both except for bafla which is boiled in water to get the tenderness before it is baked.

In Malva, Dal Bafla Party is very famous, which starts with Poha and Jalebies in break fast around 9 am and end up with Dal Bafla, Churma Ladoos, Aaloo Ki Sabji, Kadhi, Castor Sugar, Dhaniya Chutny and last not the least loads of Gheeeeeee around 3 pm. After that there is no scope for Dinner.

On Sundays it is best lunch but because of high calories I will recommend only once or twice in a month.

so here is the recipe......................................................................................................................
