This is a wonderful Indian bread served hot with Channa masala (recipe no. 36606). You will love it and make it a regular part of your Indian cuisine.

• Ready In: 24 hrs 20 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  cups all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1  tablespoon  cooking oil
• 1  teaspoon sugar
• 1⁄2 cup yoghurt
•  water, as required to knead
•  oil, to deep fry

Directions

1. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Fold in oil and yoghurt. Prepare a soft dough by kneading this well and keep it aside. For best results, keep it aside for 7-8 hours or overnight (I recommend keeping it aside overnight for best results).
3. Pinch off small balls of the dough.
4. Roll them with 1/4 inch thickness.
5. Heat oil in a wok.
6. Deep fry the rolled out dough in the hot oil.
7. Remove from heat once brown specs appear on either side and the bhatoora fluffs up and shows an inflated appearance.
8. Drain excess oil off the bhatoora on clean kitchen paper napkins.
9. Serve hot with Pindi Channa (Recipe no. 36606).
