Dough Ingredients
For Frying
Method
Preparing the Dough
- 1
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
- 2
Add Wet Ingredients
Add the yogurt and oil to the dry mixture. Start mixing it with your hands or a spoon until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- 3
Knead the Dough
Gradually add water as needed while kneading the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 1-2 hours.
Frying the Bhaturas
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or kadhai, heat the oil on medium-high heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of dough into the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
- 5
Roll the Dough
Take a portion of the rested dough and roll it into a ball. Flatten it slightly, then use a rolling pin to roll it out into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
- 6
Fry the Bhatura
Carefully slide the rolled bhatura into the hot oil. It should puff up immediately. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove it from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- 7
Repeat
Repeat the rolling and frying process with the remaining dough balls. Serve hot.
