In Banaras, baati is a baked wheat ball stuffed with spiced roasted-gram sattu. It comes with chokha, a mash of roasted brinjal, tomato and potato sharpened with raw mustard oil, and often a bowl of arhar dal. Instead of breaking the baati apart, press a spoonful of chokha and chutney on top of each bite and sip the dal alongside.
