To begin making the Rajasthani Daal Baaple Churma recipe, we will first make the churma.

In a mixing bowl take wheat flour, semolina and ghee, add water to form a stiff dough. Make patties with your palms with a indentation at the centre as shown in the picture.

Heat ghee (you can use oil too) and deep fry the patties in hot oil till golden brown. Turn over and cook for even cooking, cook in low medium flame. Drain in tissue paper and set aside to cool down.

Once it is completely cool, break them into small pieces and grind it using a mixer. Grind it a little coarse.

Collect the mixture in a bowl, add castor sugar and mix well. Add almonds, pistachios along with ghee and give a quick mix. Your yummy sweet churma is ready!

The next step is to make the dal. Rinse the dals well and pressure cook for 5 whistles along with a pinch of turmeric powder, salt and 3 cups of water.

Once pressure releases, mash it well with a ladle and set aside.

In a pan heat ghee, add the items listed under 'To temper' and let it splutter.

Then add tomatoes along with red chilli, turmeric, coriander and garam masala along with salt and saute for few mins until raw smell of tomatoes leave!

Now add mashed dal and mix well. Let the dal boil for 5 mins, add little water if its too thick. Finally garnish with coriander leaves.

Now, we will make the baaple. In a mixing bowl, take all the ingredients listed under 'Baaple', mix well and knead it together to form a stiff dough.

Divide the dough into small balls and flatten them using your palms. Make a small indentation in the centre of the baaple using your thumb.

Now boil them into water until they comes up once they are totally boiled! And let them cool completely.

Then take a wok, put the ghee to deep fry the baaple until they become golden brown and drain then into tissue paper. (You could also arrange them into microwave are 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes to bake, but I personally prefer deep frying to make it more traditional)

So your delicious treat is ready! Serve it with papad chura, green chilli, lemon slice and sudh deshi ghee!
