Directions
Bhatura, Bhaturais a fried bread often served at Chaat shops, that is the term for Indian fast food shops This recipe is from A taste of Palace Life Royal Indian Cookery by Manju Shivraj Singh, Great and easy I added a teaspoon or two of cumin seeds to mine and it is just delicious , Did not try out this recipe as I had found earlier that when use baking soda it tends to soak up too much oil Instead use the bread dough I make for baking dinner rolls Sometimes use the readymade pizza dough Both come out fluffy Also when use the bread dough I leave out the eggs and also the yoghurt and it still comes out fluffy Just thought I will share my thoughts Jul 25, 2006

Note: This Cookbook Has a Picture Included of the Bhaturas Frying in a Large Deep Frying Pan That Seems to Contradict the Instruction to Fry One at a Time. |

My Guess Is That the Instruction Is Meerly to Make Sure You Have Enough Room to Be Able to Turn Them Over and Brown the Other Side. |

the 5 Hours Prep Time Includes the 4 Hours Rising, and the 30 Minutes Cooking Time Is an Approximation That Will Depend on How Many You Try Frying at a Time and How Quickly They Brown. |
