Bhatura


I was introduced to the bhatura a long time ago & recently got a chance to get reacquainted with this thanks to Shwetha bhabhi. I have made some tweaks to this & to my luck the end product was sanctioned by the husband too. I had served this along with butter chicken & the combo was really mouth-watering. Otherwise this one can also go along with the traditional chole (chickpea curry) or any other gravy dish.  


Ingredients

  • 1 cups of plain flour
  • 3/4 cups whole wheat flour + extra for dusting
  • salt (to taste)
  • 1 tbsp. baking powder
  • 1 tbsp. sugar
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • Oil (for frying)
  • Luke Warm water to knead the dough
In a bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar and baking powder. Add yogurt and warm water and knead into soft dough. Cover and keep in a dark place for about 4 hours to rise.
Knead the dough again and divide into small balls. Roll out into a small disc.

In a pan, heat the oil. It should be HOT. Now drop the disc and fry till puffed up on both sides for about 4 seconds on each side. They cook pretty fast.
Drain on a paper towel and serve hot.


MY combo was bhatura and butter chicken …Yuummyyyy!!!!!!
