Sugar – ½ teaspoon Plain curd/Dahi – 2 tablespoons

Oil for deep frying. I used Canola Oil

Procedure –

 

Take all-purpose flour, flour, semolina, salt, sugar, baking powder and eno fruit salt in a bowl. Mix well and then add plain yogurt. Mix it by rubbing between your fingers till everything is incorporated well. Now start adding little water at a time and knead the dough. Keep adding and keep kneading the dough. Dough should be tight and firm. Now add a tablespoon of oil. Again knead the dough till it is smooth (for 4-5 minutes).Cover it with clean damp kitchen towel\Muslin cloth. Let it rest for 30-40 minutes. No problem if you rest it for more then 30 minutes. After resting time dough should be leavened slightly. You will notice few spots are light while few are darker in color. Knead it again and make it smooth. Divide the dough into small-small equal portions. Make smooth ball and then flatten it between your palms. Work with one flattened ball at a time. Roll into 5 inch diameter circle or oval shape. Bhatura should not be too thin or too thick. It should have medium thickness. Roll and keep in a plate covered with kitchen towel. Heat the oil in pan on medium heat for deep frying bhaturas. Oil should be medium hot. Once it is hot, slide one bhatura into the oil. Within few seconds it will puff up. Once golden brown from once side, flip it. Lightly press it with spatula, so it gets fried evenly from all the sides. Then remove it using the slotted spatula and let it drain the excess oil.Keep in the paper towel plate.
