Mixed Flour Instant Bhatura#BreadBakers

Bhatura is a leavened fried bread from the Indian cuisine and is served with Chickpeas gravy. Bhatura or Bhature (plural) is one of the most popular Punjabi recipes. I have already posted a Yeasted Bhatura recipe. There is also another bhatura recipe that is made with yogurt. Will share that recipe too soon.

Ingredients
3 Cups All Purpose Flour
½ Cup Whole Wheat Flour
2 Tablespoons Fine Rawa
¾ Teaspoon Salt
2 Tablespoons Ghee
¾ Cup + - Club Soda
Method

In a bowl take the whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, fine rawa, salt and ghee, mix all the ingredients well. Now add the club soda little by little, knead it into a soft dough.
Cover the dough and let is rest for at least 30 minutes.
For Frying The Bhatura

In the meantime as the dough is resting, place a deep frying pan/kadai with oil, let it heat on medium low flame.
After 15 minutes take the dough, divide it into round ball according to size of the bhatura you would like.

Shape into round balls and roll them into 5 to 6-inch thick circle discs, I used a round cutter to make all the bhatura's same size.

The same way as you would fry pooris, the oil has to be moderately hot. Use medium to medium-high flame while frying.

These will take a bit longer to fry than pooris, fry them till golden.

Drain them on kitchen paper napkins to remove the excess oil.
Continue to fry each bhature this way.

Serve the bhatura hot with any of the below chickpea recipes.
