Batura

One big poori with chole with it. A dish that I never used to order as I would not eat Pooris when in India. However now that its a favourite of M, I have now got used to it. I could manage to make a pluffy Batura here. Lets goahead and see the recipe now :

Ingredients:
Maida : 1 cup (All Purpose flour)
Wheat Flour : 1 cup
Baking powder : qtr tea spn
Sugar : half tea spn
Sooji : 1-2 tbl spoon (Rava)
Butter milk : half cup
Milk or Water
Salt
Oil for frying

Method of preparation : In a bowl add Maida, Wheat Flour, Baking powder, Sugar, Sooji and Salt and mix well now add Butter milk and for the rest of the mositure add appropriate qty water or Milk.
Make a little tighter dough than the usual chappati dough. Allas put a little oil and spread it all over the dough and rest this for 1-2 hrs.
After that make small dumplings and roll it evenly. Heat oil in a pan for frying, drop the rolled dough into the oil and press it using a skimmer so that the bubble that would be formed becomes bigger. Just one bubble would make it blow big. Serve with Chole.

* Normally Batura is made only with Maida and not Wheat Flour. However I used Wheat Flour as we cant eat much when its done with Maida alone. However made the taste remains the same.

* Serve it immediately as you prepare it. The baturas stays puffed for 10 to 15 min after its made.
