Instant bhature with chole

There are days when you really feel like eating bhature. But the process of making tasty bhature is bit tedious. But here I have tried a recipe which is pretty quick. It hardly takes 10 minutes to knead the dough,rest and 10 minutes preparation. Interesting!?

Bhature 

Ingredients

3 Cups all purpose flour or Maida or whole wheat atta

3 Tbsp Suji/Semolina

1 1/2 tsp Eno fruit salt

1 1/2 tsp Salt

1 1/2 tbsp homemade ghee

1 Cup warm water

Method

* In a bowl mix in all ingredients,add warm water and knead a soft dough. Cover it with muslin cloth. Let it rest for 10 minutes.

* Roll out balls out of the dough. Apply oil in the balls. 

* Use bellan to roll out bhature. I made oval shaped, stretched it a bit. The important point to note while rolling is not to roll sides at all. Roll only the middle of the balls. Use no flour, if needed use a little oil to roll out.

* Keep oil, we need high flame and hot boiling oil about 200 degrees. Dip each rolled bhatures and deep fry by pouring hot oil over the bhature. It puffs up and flip it and follow the same procedure.

* Remove bhature and spread it on kitchen towel to absorb excess oil.

*Serve it with chole, chopped onion and green chilies. Yum!
