Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Chickpea flour (Besan)
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 500 milliliters Oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

Add sugar and mix well to distribute it evenly throughout the flour mixture.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and olive oil until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the yogurt mixture into the dry ingredients and mix using your hands or a spatula until crumbly.

Step 5

Gradually add warm water, a little at a time, and knead to form a smooth and soft dough.

Step 6

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball.

Step 8

Flatten each ball slightly and roll out into small discs, about 6 inches in diameter, ensuring they are evenly thick.

Step 9

Heat the oil for frying in a deep pan over medium heat. To test, drop a small piece of dough into the oil. If it rises and sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.

Step 10

Carefully slip one rolled Bhature into the hot oil. Use a slotted spoon to lightly press it, allowing it to puff up.

Step 11

Fry the Bhature until golden brown on both sides, flipping as needed. Each piece should take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 12

Remove the fried Bhature and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 13

Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough pieces.

Step 14

Serve hot with spicy chickpea curry or your favorite accompaniment.
