Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Oil (for dough)
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 cups Oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
Add plain yogurt and sugar to the flour mixture and mix well.
Gradually add water and 2 tablespoons of oil to the mixture, kneading as you go, to form a smooth, soft dough. The dough should be pliable but not sticky.
Once the dough is well-kneaded, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least one hour. This will help activate the leavening agents.
After the resting period, knead the dough again briefly. Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each portion into a smooth ball.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into a disc approximately 6-8 inches in diameter. Make sure they are evenly rolled.
In a large, deep skillet or wok, heat 2 cups of oil over medium-high heat. The oil needs to be hot enough for frying but not smoking.
Carefully slide one bhatura into the hot oil. Use a slotted spoon to gently press the bhatura down into the oil, helping it puff up. Fry until golden brown on both sides. This should take about 1-2 minutes per bhatura.
Remove the fried bhatura with the slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough discs.
Serve the bhatura hot with your favorite Indian dish or chutney.
