Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 0.5 cup Warm water
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the yogurt and 2 tablespoons of oil to the dry ingredients and mix well.
Gradually add warm water to the mixture while kneading to form a smooth and soft dough. The dough should not be sticky. You may not need all the water.
Once the dough is ready, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 1 hour. This resting period allows the dough to become more pliable.
After resting, divide the dough into 10-12 equal portions and shape them into smooth balls.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into a circle about 6-7 inches in diameter. Ensure the thickness is even.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of dough into it. If it rises to the surface quickly, the oil is hot enough.
Carefully slide the rolled bhature into the hot oil. It should puff up immediately. Gently press with a slotted spoon to help it puff evenly.
Fry until golden brown on both sides. Ensure you turn the bhature to cook both sides evenly.
Remove the bhature with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the sugar-free bhature hot with chickpea curry or your choice of accompaniment.
