Whole-Wheat Bhatura

Ingredients

• Wheat flour or all-purpose flour - 2 cup
• Baking powder - 1/4 tsp
• Curd - 1 tbsp
• Egg - 1 whole
• Salt - 1/4 tsp
• Sugar - 1/4 tsp
• Ghee - 1 1/2 tsp
• Water
• Oil for deep frying

Instructions

1. 1Whisk the wheat flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl, then sift once to combine and aerate the mixture.
2. 2In a separate bowl, beat the egg with the curd, sugar, and ghee until smooth, then pour this mixture into the flour.
3. 3Mix the ingredients and add water a little at a time while bringing the dough together; knead until the dough is soft and smooth.
4. 4Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for at least 2 hours so it relaxes and becomes slightly airy.
5. 5Divide the rested dough into small balls and gently roll each one into a thick round, similar to the thickness you use for puris.
6. 6Heat enough oil in a deep pan for frying until hot, then carefully slide in a bhatura and fry, turning once, until both sides are light brown.
7. 7Transfer the fried bhaturas to paper towels to drain briefly, then serve them warm.
