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. |
