Directions:
Getting ready :
To prepare Instant Bhature take 2 cup refined flour and 3 boiled and peeled potatoes. Grate these potatoes very finely with a grater.
Making:
Add 1/4 cup semolina, 1/2 cup curd, 1/2 tsp salt. Also add less than 1/4 tsp baking soda and 2 tsp oil to the refined flour.
Add the grated potatoes to it and mix all the ingredients well with hands and knead a soft dough for the bhatura. Use water in little amounts to knead the dough , we have used 1/4 cup water to knead it. Now grease your hands with oil and smoothen the dough. Spread a little oil over the dough and keep it covered for 15 to 20 minutes to set.
Grease hands with oil again and smoothen the dough. Spread dry refined flour over the hands and make dough balls from the dough.
To roll out the dough balls to make bhaturas firstly grease the rolling pin and board with a bit of oil. After that pick up a dough ball and press it with hands like and roll out. Meanwhile place a wok on flame for the oil to heat.
After rolling out the bhatura a bit rather than picking up, rotate the rolling board. Give it a round or oval shape as desired. Flatten it out like a paratha i.e neither too thin nor too thick. In the meanwhile check if the oil in the wok is hot enough to fry the bhaturas. The oil should be hot enough for frying the bhatura.
Now to fry the bhatura, put the bhatura in the wok. Press it lightly with a slotted ladle. Flip it when puffed and fry it golden brown in color from both sides.
Hold it like this over the wok for a while so that the extra oil goes back into the wok and sieve the bhatura in a plate with a slotted ladle.
Now roll the bhatura the other way by dusting it with refined flour. Make a dough ball and dust it with dry refined flour and flatten it like earlier, this time don’t rotate the rolling pin, pick the bhatura, flip it and roll it out on a rolling pin. Roll it out like a parantha. As the bhatura sticks on the rolling pin spread a little refined flour like and roll it out. Repeat the same process for frying the bhatura as earlier.
Mouth drooling Instant Bhatura is ready. You can serve it with your favorite chole. The yummy Chole with Instant Bhature will keep everyone asking for more.
Suggestions:
- For bhatura knead a dough which is neither too soft nor too stiff. It should be like that of a paratha.
- You can roll out the Bhatura in two different ways. Either roll out the dough ball by rotating the rolling pin while rolling or by picking up and rolling it while dusting it with a bit of refined flour.
- To check if the oil is hot enough break a little dough and put it into the oil. The dough should instantly float over the oil as we need the oil to be hot enough for frying the bhature.
- Make sure you grate the potatoes finely with a fine grater so that they are kneaded well with the dough.
- Add little quantity of water while you knead the dough because the moisture from the potatoes goes into the dough.
- You can add Dahi and baking soda to make the bhatura soft and puffy. Add semolina to keep the bhatura puffy for a longer time.
