Instructions
Making Bhatura Dough
Sieve the maida (all purpose flour) with baking soda and salt.
Add the sooji and sugar. Mix well.
Add the yogurt and mix again.
Add very little water, just about ½ tbsp and begin to knead.
Knead the dough, adding water as required. Make a smooth and soft dough.
Cover the dough with a wet napkin and keep aside for 2 hours.
Frying Bhatura
Heat oil in a kadai or pan for deep frying.
Make small to medium sized balls from the dough.
Roll the balls between your palms to make them even.
Keep the balls covered with the wet kitchen napkin.
Take a ball and flatten them. Apply oil on both sides and with a rolling pin roll, the ball into oval or elongated shape.
Make neither thick nor thin bhature.
Rotate the rolling board while rolling the bhature as it much easier than lifting it, since we are not using flour to roll them.
When the oil is hot enough, place the rolled dough gently into the oil. It will puff up.
Aid in puffing by applying light pressure on it with a slotted spoon.
When the oil stops sizzling, turn oven and fry the second side.
When light golden, remove and drain on kitchen paper towels to remove excess oil.
Make the rest of the bhature this way. serve the instant bhatura hot with chana masala.
