- ½ or ⅓ cup warm water
- vegetable oil for deep frying
for overnight fermentation:
- ¾ cup plain curd or cashew curd
- ½ tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¾ cup maida
- ¼ cup water (optional)
Method:
You will have to start the night before.In a bowl Mix well all the above 4 ingredients mentioned for overnight fermentation.If the yogurt is thick, then to thin the batter, add ¼ cup water.Cover the bowl with a cloth and set it aside in a warm place overnight or for 8 hours.The next day you will see tiny bubbles on the surface of the mixture. The mixture is ready for the next step when tiny bubbles appear on the surface.In another bowl, mix together the wheat flour with salt and rub the ghee or butter into it with your fingertips. Into this bowl, add the fermenting mixture and the warm water. Form a dough with these two mixtures.Knead the dough for 5 to 10 minutes or until it is silky smooth. Add a little flour if it is too wet. Gather the dough into a compact ball and cover it with a damp cloth. Again set it aside in a warm place for 2 hrs.Form it in to 15 balls and roll them into 5-6 inch discs. Heat oil or ghee and deep fry the bhaturas in the same way as you would fry pooris. Serve the bhaturas hot with chole and wedges of lemon and sliced onions.
