Bhature recipe
This is the second part of the Chole Bhature recipe. In this recipe we will make the Bhaturas.
The flour is kept aside overnight or for atleast 7-8 hours. For the leavening of the flour, curd and baking powder is used. This is called the overnight ferment method. Next day the rest of the ingredients are mixed together and kept for another hour. The rolling and frying of the Bhaturas takes another 25-30 mins.
When I was frying the Bhaturas they puffed up really well, like the way the Bhatura actually has to puff up. See picture below. They were also very soft from inside and crisp from outside.
This Bhatura recipe is made without yeast. Yeast contains barley. For those who are on a gluten-free diet this is a good alternative. But careful, not all baking powders are gluten-free! Be sure to read the label and ingredients before using.
Some Bhatura recipes are made of only refined wheat flour. In this recipe we use more of the whole wheat flour and less of all purpose flour-refined white flour, ratio is approx. 1:3. This recipe is not so heavy in the stomach and avoids bloating and gas.
Serve Bhature(as shown in picture below) with Chole.
