I love buckwheat flour, am not sure why... I mean, I know its many virtues, and that could be the reason.
Bathura is a lightly fried Indian bread, usually made with whole wheat flour. This bathura recipe is not very different from my older one, except I used a combination of buckwheat flour and whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour.
Ingredients
1 cup buckwheat flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 Tbsp canola oil
water or buttermilk as needed
salt to taste
Preparation
- Knead the ingredients into a smooth elastic dough, cover and allow to sit for about 15-20 minutes
- Meanwhile, heat some oil for frying the bathura
- When ready, divide the dough into roughly golf-ball-sized rounds, then flatten out with a rolling pin to about ¼ inch thick, dusting with flour as needed
- Fry one at a time till it puffs up and turns darker, flip or dunk the bathura in oil to make sure both sides are cooked, drain
- Serve warm with a few sides like Mutter-Tofu curry, Paneer Kofta Curry, Cholay, Dal, chutneys...

I so wish I could taste all those yummies on that plate ... buckwheat and bhatura ... would have never thought to mix the two ... sounds lovely!
ReplyDeleteLoved the idea of using buckwheat flour in bhatura, it has turned out wonderfully :-)
