Bhatura

Ingredients:
100g semolina
125g plain flour
125g self-raising flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup yoghurt
Oil for deep frying

Method:
  1. First, soak the semolina in just enough water to cover it. Put it aside.
  2. Meanwhile sift together the flours, salt and the bicarbonate of soda. Add the sugar, yoghurt and the semolina.
  3. Knead it with enough warm water to make dough of rolling consistency. Now rub a little oil on the dough and knead again till the dough is smooth. Pat the dough with oil and leave aside, covered.
  4. Heat oil in the pan. You’ll need at least half a painful as you are going to deep-fry the bhaturas.
  5. Roll out the dough into small balls. Then take one ball at a time, and either with a rolling pin or using an oiled surface and your hands, gently press the ball into an oval shape.
  6. Drop it into the hot oil. Press gently with a long handle slotted spoon, and it will puff up after a few seconds. It’s ready when it turns a cream color and has a few brown flecks. Turn over for a few seconds.
  7. Drain on paper towel and serve hot with chickpea curry.
