Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Resting Time: 2 hours
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cup Maida All purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Yogurt / Curd Optional, but this makes it real soft and tasty.
  • Salt
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  • Prepare a dough by mixing Maida , yogurt and salt.
  • The dough should not be stiff and not to soft.
  • Let the dough rest for 2 hrs (Can make instant also let it just rest for atleast 20 mins. I many a times make instant too)
  • Heat sufficient oil for frying.
  • Divide the dough into equal sized balls.
  • Roll out each ball into round or oval shape.
  • Rolling should be even all around else it will not puff up.
  • Once the oil is hot, dip one Bhatura slowly in the oil.
  • It should slide slowly inside so that you cover it with oil as it goes inside the hot oil.
  • While frying light press the Bhatura from mid-centre to sides so that it gets puffed up.
  • Once puffed, let it cook on medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
  • Once cooked on the side, and cook on the other side again for 1-2 minutes until cooked.
  • Remove it on an absorbent paper.
  • Repeat the same process for the remaining dough balls.
  • Do not roll all at once, one needs to be rolled and then immediately fried.
  • Enjoy it with Chole (Indian Chickpeas Curry).

Notes

  • Do not roll all at once, one needs to be rolled and then immediately fried.
