Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.75 cup Plain yogurt (unsalted)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 cups Oil for deep frying
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
Step 2
Add yogurt, olive oil, and sugar to the flour mixture. Mix well until the mix appears crumbly.
Step 3
Slowly add water, kneading the mixture into a smooth dough. The dough should be soft and pliable.
Step 4
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This resting time is crucial for the dough to become light and airy.
Step 5
After resting, knead the dough once again for a minute.
Step 6
Divide the dough into equal portions (about 8 pieces) and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 7
Heat oil in a large, deep skillet on medium-high heat.
Step 8
While the oil is heating, roll each dough ball into a circle of about 6-7 inches in diameter using a rolling pin. Do not apply too much pressure to maintain fluffiness.
Step 9
Once the oil is hot, carefully slide one rolled bhature into the oil. Fry until the bhature puffs up and turns golden brown on both sides. Use a slotted spoon to gently press and flip, ensuring even cooking.
Step 10
Remove the cooked bhature and place it on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Step 11
Repeat the rolling and frying process for the remaining dough balls.
Step 12
Serve the low sodium bhature hot with your favorite curry or chickpea dish.
