Making a perfect ‘Bhatura’

(Here’s the secret recipe to prepare perfect Bhautre)

Ingredients:

-Flour -2 cups

-Sooji-3tbsp

-Yogurt-4tbsp

-Olive oil-1tbsp

-Sugar-1/2 tsp

-Baking Powder-1tsp

Salt to taste

Oil for deep frying

Preparation:

-Combine all the ingredients together into soft dough.  The dough should not be too hard or too soft in touch

-Cover the dough with a wet cloth and keep aside for at least 3 to 4 hours.  Till it sets

-Make lemon sizes balls, put a little oil so it doesn’t stick and roll into thick round shaped rotis. Take care not to make rotis too thick or too thin.

-Heat enough oil for deep frying in a heavy bottomed Karhai.  Once the oil is heat, reduce flame to medium flame; slide the Bhatura into the hot oil.  Using the back of the ladle, press the center and along the edges and it will puff up.
