Title: Bhature (Puffed Fried Flatbread)
Categories: Breads, Idian
Yield: 8 Servings

2 1/2 c All-purpose flour
2 tb Semolina
1/4 ts Baking soda
2 ts White sugar
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 c Canola oil
2/3 c Buttermilk; or as required
-at room temperature
Oil; for deep-frying

Combine the all purpose flour with semolina and soda thoroughly.

Whisk oil, sugar, and salt in the buttermilk.

Add the buttermilk mix to flour mix.

Start with 1/2 cup of butter milk and knead well to make dough.

You may need to adjust the buttermilk quantity. The dough will be
slightly sticky, pliable, and soft. Knead for about 5 minutes.

Cover it with wet cloth and keep it in a warm place for 1 hour.

Make a lemon sized balls of the dough. On a floured surface, roll the
flour balls into an elliptical shape, about 1/4" thick.

Heat oil in a deep-frying fan.

A quick way to check the temperature of oil without thermometer is to
pinch a small quantity of dough and put it in oil.

It should sizzle to the surface immediately.

Once oil is heated, tip in the rolled bhaturas into the oil sliding
from the sides of the pot.

Be careful because the oil may splutter. Fry the bhaturas flipping
them until they turn slightly golden on both sides. Make sure that
you don’t fry the bhatures long because you want them to be soft
and light golden.

Drain from the oil and place on paper towel.

Serve warm.
