After ½ hour grease hands with ghee and knead the dough again. Dough for making baati is also ready.
Make balls from dough. Keep the size equal to the size of ball required for making chapatti (we can make 12 balls from this much dough). Take one ball and flatten it into 2-3 inch diameter circle with help of your hands and place 1-1.5 tsp stuffing on it. Seal it from all sides giving it a round shape. Place the baati on baking tray. Like wise prepare all baati’s.
