RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» Making Instant Bhature:

1. Add flour, semolina to a large mixing bowl. Mix them well.
2. Add oil, salt, sugar, yogurt and mix everything well to combine.
3. Knead into a soft dough using soda water.
4. Cover with a muslin cloth and set aside for 30 minutes.
5. After 30 minutes, uncover the dough. Apply little oil and knead lightly.
6. Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions with greased hands and roll into balls.
7. Roll out into an oval shape.
8. Heat enough oil in a pan.
9. Slide rolled bhatura into hot oil.
10. Deep fry on high heat till the bhatura puff up and both sides are slightly golden brown in color. (Pressing the center lightly with a large frying spoon and splashing hot oil over the bhatura would help bhatura to puff up completely.)
11. Drain fried bhatura on an absorbent paper to remove excess oil. And deep fry rest of the bhaturas.
12. Serve hot with amritsari chole, or chole masala, onion rings, pickle and some Raita.

RECIPE NOTES

1. You can make your bhature more flavourful by adding some dry roasted kasuri methi. This will enhance the taste of bhatura and would add more flavour to this puffed bread.
2. You can also add some carom seeds (ajwain) to the dry flour before kneading the dough. Your bhatura would taste like ajwain ki puri.
3. You can make ?Bhatura? more delectable by adding your twist to this recipe. Like while kneading the dough you can add some dry roasted kasuri methi to the dough - this will add more flavors and surely enhance the taste of bhatura.
4. I have added yogurt in ?Bhatura? recipes, but you can also add some warm milk along with yogurt. Your ?Bhatura? would come out more softer.
