Instructions

  1. Mix the flour, semolina, salt, sugar, cumin and baking powder together. Add yoghurt and oil and knead with the dry ingredients to an elastic dough (feels like yeast dough) by hand or with the dough hook of the hand mixer. Possibly add a little more water or flour until the dough is nice to the touch.
  2. Roll out the dough into 8 small flatbreads.
  3. Let the oil get really hot (I use a small saucepan to save oil) and fry the flatbreads in it. The bread must always be covered in oil when frying. Drain on kitchen paper and enjoy!
  4. The Bathura goes perfectly with all Indian recipes such as lentil dishes or my favorite food, the Bombay curry from feuervogel.
  5. This is my version of a recipe that Nadeem once posted as a comment.
