Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk
- 1 cup Plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 cup Warm water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- as needed Oil for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
Add the plain yogurt to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough starts to come together.
Slowly add warm water, a little at a time, and knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. You may not need the entire 0.5 cup of water; it depends on the humidity and absorption rate of the ingredients.
Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the psyllium husk to absorb moisture and bind the dough.
Once rested, divide the dough into 8 equal-sized balls.
On a flat surface, use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into a disc about 6 inches in diameter. Use a piece of parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking while rolling.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large saucepan over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 350°F (175°C). Test the oil by dropping a small piece of dough; it should sizzle immediately and rise to the surface.
Carefully slide one bhatura into the hot oil. Gently press the top with a slotted spoon to help it puff up. Fry until golden brown on both sides, approximately 1-2 minutes per side.
Remove the bhatura from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough discs. Serve hot with chole or your favorite curry.
