Some how i managed to post 6 recipes under the theme "Indian States" for this week , even with all the travelling.Though all the recipes are not fancy and doesn't require elaborate procedure & lot of time, i'm happy that i can make it without the break.So i end this series with another sweet recipe "Churma" from Rajasthan and it's usually served with Dal Baati.
Churma is coarsely ground wheat crushed and cooked with ghee and sugar and it's famous in Rajasthani Cuisine. Traditionally it is made by mashing wheat flour baatis in ghee and jaggery. But i use sugar here to make this.It's so flavorful with ghee and i must go for another serving.

Notes:

Traditionally only ghee is used to fry the baatis, but i dont want to that much ghee in one dish, so i used oil for frying.
Use jaggery instead of sugar, if you wish.
You can serve this as it is or make ladoo out of this mixture.
