I had shared the recipe of dal baati churma made with whole wheat earlier.

I had made the dal baati churma for Christmas dinner when I had invited my friend (Dr Neelam Singh) along with her family. They enjoyed it to the fullest. Since Neelam’s mother in law is diabetic and does not prefer eating wheat , I had made raagi baati too.

Friends please do try this gluten free baati and share your feedback with me.
