Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Plain yogurt (low-fat)
- 0.25 cup Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0 Oil spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 2
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the plain yogurt and warm water. Mix together until the ingredients form a dough.
Step 3
Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Add a little water if necessary to make the dough pliable, but it should not be sticky.
Step 4
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This resting period allows the gluten to develop, making the bhaturas soft and fluffy.
Step 5
After the resting time, divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball.
Step 6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into a circle about 5-6 inches in diameter.
Step 7
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray with oil spray to coat the surface.
Step 8
Place a rolled-out bhatura onto the skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes on one side, until small bubbles begin to form.
Step 9
Flip the bhatura and lightly press down with a spatula. Cook for another 2 minutes until it is golden brown and puffed up.
Step 10
Remove from the skillet and keep warm in a clean kitchen towel. Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Step 11
Serve the Low Fat Bhaturas hot with your choice of curry or chutney.
