Battura

"Battura" is a vintage recipe in Punjabi Cuisine. It is a deep fried flat bread usually served with channa masala, a classic combination in Indian cuisine. 

Ingredients

2 cups Maida

1/4 cup Semolina | Fine rava | Chiroti Rava

1/4 cup Yogurt

1/2 tsp Sugar

1/2 tsp Salt

1 tsp Yeast

Warm Water

Method

• In a mixing bowl, mix maids, semolina, yogurt, sugar, salt and yeast.

• Add warm water to knead the dough. The dough should be very soft

• Cover the dough and leave it for 1 to 2 hours until dough rises

• Now divide dough into equal portions and roll them into balls 

• Take  a ball of dough and using a rolling pin roll it into thick circular shape (I have rolled it into puri size about 5 inches in diameter)

• Heat oil in a heavy bottom vessel

• Gently leave the rolled batturas in oil. Fry it evenly on both sides. 

• Use an absorbent paper to drain excess oil
• Serve hot with channa masala
