Paneer Bhatura



Paneer Bhatura, this is a amazing twist to our plain Bhatura. As i am outside my home country and was missing them badly. I know, it looks like a big task but trust me its not. Goes great with Channa Masala posted on my blog. So, please try this recipe and lemme know how you liked it.


Ingredients:

1½ Cup All Purpose Flour/ Maida
1 tbsp Semolina
½ Cup Curd
½ tbsp Active Rise Yeast
½ tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Salt
½ Cup Lukewarm Water
Oil for deep frying

Filling:


1 Cup Cottage Cheese
½ tsp Cumin Powder
1 Finely Chopped Green Chili
½ tsp Salt
½  tsp Chat Masala
1 tbsp Chopped Cilantro 

Process:

1) Take a bowl with flour in and add in Semolina, Active rise yeast, sugar, salt and mix well.  Then add in curd and mix softly with hands. Then slowly add in water to kneed soft dough.

2) Cover the dough and let it rest for an hour. Then after you will observe the dough turns double i.e fermented. Punch dough to remove air from the dough. Then let the dough rest for 10 minutes so that it becomes easy to handle. Now make equal size round balls.

3) Take a bowl add in Paneer, Chat masala, Salt, Green Chili, Cilantro, Cumin powder and mix well. Take dough balls and roll them now put some filling in the middle. Now close the edges like me do for filled paranths.

4) Now roll the balls with rolling pin to make any shape you like with the help of dry flour or the 
authentic way is to make oval shape with the help of hands and oil. 

5) Heat up the oil for frying. Add Bhatura's one at a time. You will observe the bhatura's will fluff up then its the time to flip that and fry from the other side too.

Enjoy !!
