Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 cup Non-dairy yogurt (e.g., coconut or almond yogurt)
- 0.5 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for dough)
- as needed Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the non-dairy yogurt and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Start mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands.
Gradually add warm water while kneading the dough. The dough should be soft but not sticky. You may need to adjust the water quantity slightly, depending on the flour.
Once the dough comes together, knead it for 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour in a warm place. This resting period allows the dough to rise slightly.
After the resting period, divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep-frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be around 350°F (180°C).
Roll out each dough ball into a circle, approximately 6-8 inches in diameter. Keep the rolled dough covered to prevent drying out.
Carefully slide one rolled bhatura into the hot oil. Gently press down with a slotted spoon or spatula to help it puff up.
Fry until the bhatura turns golden brown on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough balls.
Serve the dairy-free bhaturas hot with your choice of curry or chutney.
