Ingredients

  • 150 gms – 1 cup all-purpose flour maida
  • 75 gms – ¼ cup yogurt at room temperature
  • 40 gms – ¼ cup warm water
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp semolina sooji
  • 1 ½ tbsp ghee
  • 6 gms – 2 tsp milk powder
  • Vegetable oil for deep frying

Instructions

  1. Melt the sugar in the warm water.
  2. Put all the ingredients in a medium bowl and knead very well.
  3. Make the dough into a ball, cover it with a damp tea towel and let it rest for at least 2 hours in a warm place.
  4. Divide the dough in smaller balls and roll them into thin circles (about 3 mm – 0.1 inch thick).
  5. Heat up the vegetable oil until it reaches 200°C - 390°F. Deep fry the bhatura by spooning the hot oil on the top to make it puff. Turn to brown on both sides, then drain it on kitchen paper and serve hot with some Chole.
