I made these Bhature a few days back to serve them along with Amritsari Punjabi Chole. They turned out so amazing. They are super simple to make and are really delicious too.

You would need only a few ingredients which you would probably find at home. The only thing is that you have to wait for a minimum of 2 hours for the dough to rise a little.

Preparation Time: 2 hours        Cooking Time: 5 mins (per bhatura)        Makes: 7-8

All You Need:

For the dough

• Maida (All-purpose Flour)- 2 Cups
  
• Suji (Fine Semolina)- ¼ Cup
  
• Yogurt- ¼ Cup
  
• Sugar- 1 tsp
  
• Salt- ½ tsp
  
• Oil- 2 tsp
  
• Baking Soda- ¼ tsp
  
• Warm Water- ½ Cup
  

For the stuffing

• Ginger- ½” grated
  
• Green Chilies- 2 (finely chopped)
  
• Paneer- 100 grams
  
• Coriander Leaves
  
• Dry mint leaves- 1 ½ tsp
  
• Salt- ¼ tsp
  

A Few Tips:

• You can skip the mint if you don’t have it or don’t like it. They would taste amazing without it too..!!
  
• If you’re making this in winters, you will have to keep the dough for about 4-5 hours in a warm place or 8 hours at room temperature.
  
• While rolling the dough, keep the sealed side of the dough ball down facing the surface (chakla).
  

Method:

• In a bowl, add maida, suji, yogurt, sugar, salt, oil and baking soda. Add little water at a time and make a smooth dough.
  
• The dough should not be very sticky. It should be very smooth. Knead the dough for at least 5 mins.
  
• Pat the dough with little oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
  
• Put the bowl in a warm place for at least 2 hours.
  
• To make the stuffing, grate the paneer, add mint leaves, coriander leaves, salt, green chilies and ginger. Mix everything together.
  
• After 2 hours, take the dough and pat it to release all the air.
  
• Add oil in a kadhai for frying the bhaturas. The oil needs to be hot.
  
• Divide the dough into 6-7 equal parts.
  
• Make round balls like you would for a roti.
  
• Add the stuffing add seal it so that the stuffing would not come out.
  
• Repeat with all the dough balls.
  
• Now roll the dough. Keep it a little thick so that it does not burst while frying.
  
• Keep the other dough balls covered when not in use, otherwise they will dry out.
  
• Fry the bhaturas and serve hot with Chole.
