Bhatura Recipe / 100 % Whole Wheat Bhatura / Bhature
November 23, 2014
Bhatura Recipe: Bhatura or Bhature is one of the most popular Punjabi recipe and is served with chole; thus the term "chole-bhature". This whole wheat bhatura does not need any proofing time and it can be made in just under 30 minutes; if you have boiled potatoes. Yes, boiled potatoes are the secret ingredient that makes this an easy and quick bhatura.
I had shared quick bhatura some eons agowhich many of you tried and was happy about it; since I wanted to make it as healthy as possible; I simply tried it with whole wheat flour and it tastes as good and my kids loved it!
Food processor is my life saver for these kind of quick and easy recipes, but you can also make these without them, just boil the potatoes and grate them or mash them into the wheat flour and roll into a dough, lastly add half a tbsp of oil and roll into a smooth dough.
I am sharing, how I make bhatura with my food processor.
Step by step method:
Yields: 10
Boil potatoes in a pressure cooker; allow them to cool down completely and then peel of the skin and slice or crumble them slightly and add it into the food processor along with whole wheat flour (atta) and 1/2 tsp salt. Blitz the processor for 1 minute and it will resemble coarse sand or breadcrumbs.
Again, add a few drops of water (about 1 tbsp) and blitz again. It will form into a ball. Put them into a bowl and add oil and knead it to a soft pliable dough.
Pinch off lemon sized balls from the dough and roll out each ball into 3 inch discs, do not make them too thin.
Heat a kadai (I used my small iron kadai) with oil and slide in the bhatura and gently tap with a spoon and it will puff up. Flip carefully to the other side and allow it to puff up. Strain on to a paper napkin. Repeat the same with the rest of the dough. Serve hot.

INGREDIENTS
METHOD:
- Pressure cook potatoes with water, once cooled down, peel of the skin. Dice them or lightly mash them.
- Add the potatoes into the food processor along with whole wheat flour (atta) and 1/2 tsp salt. Blitz the processor for 1 minute and it will resemble coarse sand or breadcrumbs.
- Again run the food processor and add few drops of water slowly through the feeder, the dough will come together into a ball.
- Plop the dough into another bowel.
- Drizzle oil and knead to a soft dough.
- Pinch off lemon sized balls from the dough and roll out each ball into 3-4 inch discs, do not make it very thin. Repeat the same with the rest of the balls.
- Meanwhile heat a kadai with oil, the oil should be very hot, slide in the bhatura and gently tap the top with a spoon and it will puff up.
- Turn to the other side and allow it to brown a bit, strain and put it on top of a paper napkin and repeat the same with the rest. Try to put the flame on medium flame all through out.
- Serve with channa masala, lemon wedges, and onion rings.
NOTES
- You can grate the boiled potatoes into the wheat flour or rub them intot he flour.
- Grease your hands with oil while kneading into a soft dough.
- Wheat bhatura does not stay puffed up for long like bhatura made with all purpose flour.

These remind me of the southwestern sopapilla, but the sopapilla doesn't contain potatoes. How do these puff up like they do? Sopapillas have yeast to help them puff, so just curious since I don't see a leavening agent. I could see stuffing these beauties with so many things as well as just using them as bread.

November 26, 2015
Pidiyum kozhiyum or kottayam style pidi is a traditional knanaya cuisine ; these rice dumpling have a thick gravy like sauce, unlike the dry versions of Malabar kakka roti or kozhi pidi. Knanaya style pidi is served with varutharacha kozhi curry. Traditionally, pidi is associated with baby shower ie when the daughter-in-law is sent to her parents house for delivery, it is customary for the mother-in-law to make kozhi pidi and we knanaya people still follow these traditions. My main aim is to preserve this recipe; so that the future generations can enjoy this wholesome dish. Pidi is rice dumplings which is simmered in water along with shallots, garlic, curry leaves, and coriander seeds; but I have used coriander powder instead to make the whole process easy. Amma mentioned that if using coriander seeds then; the water used to mix the rice flour should be sieved and that using fresh roasted coriander powder saves time. I have made a video recipe and I hope this you help
