Masala baati is an authentic Rajasthani snack that is commonly prepared in every household of that region. It is a part of the traditional everyday Rajasthani thali and can also be prepared during the times of celebrations.

The stuffed baati is crunchy and flaky on the outside and has a flavoursome potato filling inside. The amchur chutney and coriander chutney are a great compliment for the baatis. The bharwan baati is a good evening-time snack and when accompanied with a cup of chai, this makes it a perfect refreshment to be had, especially during the monsoons.

The Rajasthani masala baati is prepared by either baking the baatis in the oven or gas tandoor or with charcoal. Each of them gives a unique taste to the baatis. It is simple, though time consuming; however, it makes for a perfect snack or appetizer at parties.
