Wheat Bhatura/fried puffed flatbread

One of the loved Punjabi dish which is now enjoyed throughout the country. It is a tempting and flavourful dish in Punjabi cuisine.

Its one the most searched dish in almost every breakfast or snack menu.

I and my hubby are very fond of it. But few of the time we avoid as it is deep fried. This is the case with health conscious persons.

I have tried my hands-on to make it a little bit healthy side. I am using wheat flour instead of white flour(Maida). And it is equally tasty, soft and fluffy.

Let's see the recipe now.

Ingredients:

1. Wheat flour - 1 Cup
2. Potato (Boiled and mashed) - 3 Big in size
3. Curd - 1/2 Cup
4. Oil - 4 TBS + Frying
5. Baking soda - 1 TBS
6. Salt - As per taste

Recipe:

1. Take a Big bowl, add flour, baking soda, salt and mix well.
2. Now add mashed potato and 2 tbs oil in the mixture and mix it well with hand.
3. Now add curd slowly and knead the flour
4. Once the dough is well kneaded, wrap it in wet muslin/cotton cloth and keep it to ferment for 2-3 hours.
5. After 2-3 hours, take the dough and add remaining two tbs oil and knead it again.
6. Now make medium size ball out of it.
7. Heat a big kadhai and add oil to deep fry.
8. Now roll the ball size dough into big puri. You can adjust the thickness according to your wish.
9. And fry the rolled bhatura till it turns golden brown and crispy both side. Take it out and keep it on a napkin so that it will absorb extra oil.
10. You can serve it with chole, onion wedges and pickle.

I will share the Chole recipe in a few days.

Till then enjoy wheat bhatura with your dear ones.

Bye bye, yummy mummies!!

Happy cooking!!
