Maida | all purpose flour 2 cups Sooji | rava | semolina 3 tblsp Baking powder 1 tsp Sugar 1 tsp Salt to taste Oil 3 tsp + for deep frying. Yogurt | curd 1/4 cup Video of how to make Bhatura
In a wide bowl add the plain flour, sooji, baking soda, sugar ( i used raw sugar) yogurt and salt. Mix well and add water little by little to make this into a dough. It should not be too soft or too stiff.
Add 3 tsp of oil to this and knead this well again. Cover this with a damp cloth and keep it aside for an hour. Even if you have time you can keep it 2-3 hours. Make equal big lemon sized balls out of this and keep this aside for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile keep the oil ready. Take a dough ball and dust it with plain flour. Roll this into a oblong shape. You can make this round too.
Ensure the rolled bhaturas are thick. If it is thin it won’t puff up well. Check whether the oil is hot or not by putting a pinch of dough into the oil. If it immediately pops up then oil is ready. Put the rolled bhaturas into the oil and fry on both sides.
Take out and drain excess oil in a kitchen towel. Bhaturas are ready to serve. These bhaturas retained the puffiness for more than 15 minutes.
