Ingredients
- Refined flour or Maida : 4 tea cups
- Egg : 1
- Yogurt or curd : 5 tbsp
- Salt : 1 tsp
- Baking powder : 1 tsp
- Warm water : ¼ cup
- Cooking oil : to deep fry
Methods/steps
- Seive the flour, baking powder, and salt on to a large plate or bowl. Make a depression in the centre, and break in the egg. Add the yogurt and knead. Add the warm water as required and knead firmly into a soft pliable dough. Cover with a damp cloth, and keep aside for 2 hours.
- Make balls (lemon sized) of this dough (makes around 12-13 balls), roll out on a floured board and deep fry in hot oil. Unlike poori’s the bhatura is rolled out slightly thick. When immersed in hot oil, it will puff up. Fry to a golden brown, remove and serve hot with chola.
