a requested recipe of an easy bhatura for the festive season. this recipe takes less time unlike the bhatura version i have posted before.
you just need to keep the dough to leaven for about 2 hours and then begun with the frying. so while the dough is leavening you can prepare the chole or chana masala.
the bhatura recipe is made with maida/all purpose flour and fine semolina/sooji. i have also made the same recipe with rice flour. here i did not add the sooji. both ways the bhatura tasted good. the rice flour ones were softer even after cooling. below pic is the bhatura made with rice flour and maida.
baking soda and yogurt both act as leavening agents. you can add 1/4 or 1/2 tsp of baking soda. i have used both the proportions of baking soda and they work fine.
lets start step by step easy bhatura recipe:
1. sieve the maida, salt and baking soda. add the semolina & sugar.
2. add the yogurt and mix well.
3. add water in intervals and knead to a smooth and soft dough.
4. cover the dough with a wet napkin and keep aside for 2 hours.
5. make medium sized balls from the dough. apply oil while rolling and roll into an oval or elongated shape.
6. drop the bhatura in hot oil and it will start puffing within a minute.
7. when the sizzling of the oil stops, turn over and fry the other side.
8. when light golden, remove the bhatura and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
serve the bhatura hot with any chole or chana curry.
