Cooking Tips

• Make sure the lentils are soaked and boiled until they are soft and easily mashable.
• You can adjust the spice levels according to your preference by adding more or less chili powder.
• For a healthier version, you can bake the bati instead of deep frying them.
• You can also add other toppings like chopped tomatoes, pomegranate seeds, or mint chutney for added freshness.

Storage and Serving

• Stuffed bati chaat is best served immediately after preparation to enjoy the crispy texture.
• If you have any leftover bati, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• Reheat the bati in a preheated oven or toaster oven for a few minutes before serving to regain the crispiness.
• Do not refrigerate the bati as it will make them soggy.
