Recipe Yield: 4 servings

Overall Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Required Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup fine semolina
• 1 tablespoon fine sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• A pinch of salt
• 1/3 cup yogurt

Preparing Bhature Dough:

Adding Water

• Mix all necessary ingredients together well. Now add 3/4 cup of water gradually.

Kneading Dough

• Knead until you get a sticky and soft dough for better results.

Applying oil

• Apply two tablespoons of oil over the dough.

Beating and Tossing Dough

• Beat and toss the dough until its stickiness disappears and it becomes smooth. This process may take around 3 to 4 minutes.

Applying Additional oil

• After beating the dough, apply some oil on its surface to retain moisture.

Rest the Dough

• Cover it with a lid and let it rest for at least 2 hours so that the fermentation process takes place very well.

Making Dough Balls:

• After resting properly, you will notice that the dough becomes soft and pliable.
• Now divide the whole dough into 8 to 10 equal-sized balls.

Using Greased Tray

• Put these dough balls on a tray greased with oil.

Maintaining Moisture

• To maintain their moisture, further apply oil on the surface of each dough ball.

Rest the Dough Balls

• Cover these balls with a moist clean cloth and let them rest for about 10 to 12 minutes.
• Giving rest at this stage is essential as it helps shape the bhature easily.

Roll the Bhature:

• Take a dough ball and put it on a flat platform.

Rolling Without Dry Flour

• Without any dry flour on the flat platform, press it with your hand so that it roughly turns into a circular shape.
• Then roll it with a rolling pin and try to give it a thick, even oval shape, just like a rolled paratha.
• Make sure the other dough balls remain covered.

Frying Bhature:

• Take a larger-sized Kadai filled with not too much oil, filled only up to the bottom part of the Kadai.

Using High flame

• Heat the oil until it reaches about 180 degrees Celsius since we have to fry bhature over high flame.

Slide the Bhatura

• Now gently slide this bhatura into the hot oil with the surface that was facing up while rolling facing down in the oil.

Appearing Bubbles

• Gently press with a spatula; you will notice bubbles start appearing.

Flipping Bhatura

• Carefully turn it with the spatula.

Splashing Oil

• Splash oil on the surface of the bhatura; when the hot oil comes in contact with its surface, it immediately inflates like a balloon.

Crispy and Golden Brown Bhatura

• Carefully fry until it becomes crispy and golden brown.
• Now take out your bhatura from the Kadai.
• Repeat this same process for the remaining dough balls to complete the whole process.
