I recently visited MAA BHAWANI DAAL BATI CHURMA in Jodhpur, and it was a wonderful experience. Though the restaurant is very small, the daal baati churma was extremely tasty and full of authentic Rajasthani flavors. The baatis were cooked perfectly — crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The daal was rich, flavorful, and had the perfect mix of spices that made every bite satisfying.
The churma was fresh, slightly sweet, and balanced the flavors of the daal and baati beautifully. They also added a generous amount of ghee, which made the food even more delicious without feeling too heavy. The quantity of food was more than enough, and I felt completely satisfied after the meal.
Apart from the main dish, the masala papad was also very tasty and full of flavor. The buttermilk they served was freshly made, refreshing, and paired well with the heavy meal. It added a nice, cooling touch to the overall experience.
If you are visiting Jodhpur and want to try real Rajasthani food in a simple and homely place, you must visit MAA BHAWANI DAAL BATI CHURMA. The taste and quality of the food will make you very happy!
Highly recommend it for a true local...
Read moreDaal is prepared using tuvaar dal, chana daal (prepared by removing skin of split chickpeas), mung dal, moth dal, or urad dal. The pulses or lentils are cooked together after being soaked in water for a few hours. First, a small amount of vegetable oil is heated in a frying pan and then the seasoning rai-jeera (mustard and cumin seeds) is added into the hot oil. Then green chilli, garlic and some spices including asafoetida, red chilli, turmeric, coriander, ginger are added. There may be a sweet and sour version of dal in some regions.

Read moreI met a guy in train on my way to jodhpur...he recommended this place for Daal Baati Churma...so I gave it a try...
It is located in sardarpura I guess. Hardly 500-800 meters walking distance from main sardarpura market area.
It has a Dhaba Style Ambiance. It has separate airconditioner section as well.👍🏻 Seating arrangement is pretty decent. Nothing fancy stuff.
Food -
They don't offer anything else other than Daal Baati Churma and Chaach.
They make Baati in Red wheat 🌾 flour hence you'll find the Baati a little bit on the red side.
They serve Churma as a laddu (of one Baati) and in a bowl (of two Baati). They make it on spot when you order one. Unfortunately when we went there it got over that day.
Staff n Service - Service is pretty fast. Just order from their fixed menu and they'll serve you in no time. 👍🏻 Very attentive as well.
Taste - I didn't like Daal Baati plate at all. The Daal was kind of Tasteless. 👎🏼 Baati was Okayish.👍🏻 Chaach was yummy.👍🏻
Value for Money -...
