Khatti

But my frequent visits to see Hya were restorative, marked by the mundane: sleeping off jet lag, battling mosquitoes, making pilgrimages to tailors, eating my favorite khatti daal and shami kebabs, and accompanying Hya on tombola outings to Nizam Club and Secunderabad Club.

These Khatti, there is no reasonable doubt, are identical with Kheta.

Khatri, the, 546 Khatti, the, 496 Khazars, the, 326, 494 Khemis, the, 188 Kheongs, the, 187 Kheta, the, 496 Khitans, the, 279 Khmers, the, 199 Khorvats.

Other subdivisions are the Kāti or Khatti and the Bāthudia, these last being an inferior group who are said to be looked down on because they have taken food from other low castes.

Evidently the influence of the Hittites and their Amoritic allies predominated between Mesopotamia and the Delta frontier of Egypt, and it is significant to find in this connection that the "Khatti" or "Hatti" were referred to for the first time in Egypt during the Twelfth Dynasty, and in Babylonia during the Hammurabi Dynasty, sometime shortly before or after 2000 B.C.
