- ½ cup Curd (at room tempreture)
- ¼ cup Lukewarm Water (or as required)
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Semolina / Sooji / Rava
- 1½ tbsp Ghee (clarified butter)
- 2 tsp Milk Powder
- 4 cups Oil (for deep frying)
Instructions
Bhatura Dough Recipe:
- Firstly, take ¼ cup of lukewarm water in a separate bowl and add sugar. Dissolve the sugar properly.
- Secondly, sieve the all-purpose flour or maida with baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- After that, add yogurt which is at room temperature, milk powder, and sooji or semolina. Mix it together roughly.
- Additionally, add desi ghee into it and mix it together.
- Further, add lukewarm sugar water into the flour mixture and mix again.
- Start to knead the bathura dough. Kneading is a key for good bhatura so knead the batura dough properly.
- Make a smooth and soft bhatura dough.
- Finally, cover the dough i.e. bathua atta with a wet cloth and let the dough for a minimum of 2 hours.
- Keep the dough in a warm place.
Restaurant style Bhatura Recipe:
- After 2 hours, divide the bathua dough into small to medium-sized balls.
- Roll the balls between your palms to make them even.
- Then just apply some oil to the balls and covered them with a wet cloth.
- Lets the dough balls relax for 10 minutes.
- After that, heat oil in a Kadai or pan for deep frying the bhaturas.
- Further, take a dough ball and flatten them. Apply oil on both sides and with a rolling pin, roll the ball into an oval or round shape.
- Make sure you don’t roll your bhatura a lot. Make neither thick nor thin bhatura.
- Now, rotate the rolling board while rolling the bhatura as it is much easier than lifting it since we are not using flour to roll them.
- When the oil is hot enough, place the rolled bhatura gently into the oil. Before putting bhaturas in hot oil, I just stretch them a little bit.
- Firstly, try to press the bhatura inside the hot oil. Secondly, the bhatura comes up then try to pour hot oil over it.
- This is actually very important to make your bhatura cook properly.
- After that, the batura will puff up.
- When the oil stops sizzling, turn the bhatura and fry the other side too.
- When the batura is lightly golden, remove and drain on kitchen paper towels.
- Further, make the rest of the bhaturas this way.
- Finally, your restaurant-style bhatura is ready to be served.
- Serve this hot and delicious bhatura with Punjabi chole masala.
