Ingredients
For the Oats Dough
- 2 cup Rolled Oats
- 1 cup Wheat Flour whole
- 1/2 cup Water or as needed to form a soft dough
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
For the Chana Masala Stuffing
- 1 cup Chickpea can be store-bought or home-roasted, chana, roasted
- 2 tbsp Ginger grated
- 2 tbsp Garlic crushed
- 1 tsp Cumin zeera
- 3-4 Chili Pepper finely chopped, green
- 1/4 cup Coriander chopped, dhania
- 2 tbsp Mango Pickle or other spice blend; adjust to taste
- 1.5 tsp Salt adjust to taste
- Pinch Asafoetida hing, optional
- 1/2 cup Clarified Butter for final browning, optional
- 1 tbsp Oil for sautéing the stuffing
Instructions
Prepare the Chana Masala Stuffing
- Sauté cumin seeds in oil until fragrant. Add ginger, garlic, and green chilies; sauté for a minute. Stir in roasted chickpeas, mango pickle, asafoetida (if using), salt, and coriander. Cook until heated through and flavors blend.
Prepare the Oats Dough
- Combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes.
Assemble and Cook the Baati
- Roll the dough into small balls. Flatten each ball into a small disc. Place a spoonful of the chana masala stuffing in the center. Pinch the edges together to seal, forming a ball again.
Bake or Microwave the Baati
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the stuffed baati on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Alternatively, microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, turning halfway through. (Baking yields a crispier result.)
Optional Ghee Bath
- (Optional) Gently toss the baked baati in melted desi ghee for extra flavor and richness.
Serve
- Serve the warm Oats Baati with dal, raita, or your favorite chutney.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Oats Baati
- For a richer flavor, soak the rolled oats in warm water for 30 minutes before making the dough.
- Adjust the amount of spices in the chana masala stuffing according to your preference. A touch of garam masala can enhance the flavor profile.
- If you don't have mango pickle, you can substitute it with a combination of other spices like red chili powder, turmeric, and coriander powder.
- For even browning in the oven, arrange the baati in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
