      Title: Bhature (Puffed Fried Flatbread)
 Categories: Breads, Idian
      Yield: 8 Servings

  2 1/2 c  All-purpose flour
      2 tb Semolina
    1/4 ts Baking soda
      2 ts White sugar
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/4 c  Canola oil
    2/3 c  Buttermilk; or as required
           -at room temperature
           Oil; for deep-frying

  Combine the all purpose flour with semolina and soda thoroughly.

  Whisk oil, sugar, and salt in the buttermilk.

  Add the buttermilk mix to flour mix.

  Start with 1/2 cup of butter milk and knead well to make dough.

  You may need to adjust the buttermilk quantity. The dough will be
  slightly sticky, pliable, and soft. Knead for about 5 minutes.

  Cover it with wet cloth and keep it in a warm place for 1 hour.

  Make a lemon sized balls of the dough. On a floured surface, roll the
  flour balls into an elliptical shape, about 1/4" thick.

  Heat oil in a deep-frying fan.

  A quick way to check the temperature of oil without thermometer is to
  pinch a small quantity of dough and put it in oil.

  It should sizzle to the surface immediately.

  Once oil is heated, tip in the rolled bhaturas into the oil sliding
  from the sides of the pot.

  Be careful because the oil may splutter. Fry the bhaturas flipping
  them until they turn slightly golden on both sides. Make sure that
  you don't fry the bhatures long because you want them to be soft
  and light golden.

  Drain from the oil and place on paper towel.

  Serve warm.
