Paneer bhatura
Traditional Bhatura (chewy puffed Indian bread), stuffed with cottage cheese to further enhance the taste of already tasty bhatura, to next level. A sure shot party hit.
Ingredients
- 2 Cup All Purpose Flour/ Maida
- 2 Tablespoon Semolina/Sooji
- 3 Tablespoon Yogurt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Sugar
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- 2 Tablespoon Oil
- Oil For Deep Frying
For Stuffing
- 125 grams Paneer/Cottage cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Green chilli finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Green coriander finely chopped
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add all purpose flour, semolina, yogurt, baking soda, baking powder, sugar and salt and mix well. Now knead it to a soft dough with the help of lukewarm water. Apply 2 tablespoon oil all over the dough and cover it with a wet kitchen towel. Keep aside in a warm and dry place for resting for at least 4 hours.
- In another mixing bowl, grate/crumble the paneer, add salt, green chilli and green coriander to the grated paneer and mix well. Our paneer stuffing is ready.
- Divide the dough into equal parts and make round balls of it. Take one ball of dough, expand it by pressing with your hand. Make a little depth with your fingers and place 1 or 1.5 tablespoon of stuffing in it. Gather it from all ends and seal them together to make a smooth round shape again.
- Press the ball gently with your hands and expand a little. Now with the help of rolling pin, roll it into a circle of 4-5 inch diameter.
- Fry them in hot oil till both side are nice golden and take them out on a kitchen towel.
- Serve hot and enjoy with Punjabi chole, pickled onion and green chillies.
Notes
- Always add yogurt which is at room temperature, not coming straight out of fridge.
- Make sure your paneer is not wet otherwise the stuffing will be soggy and it will pop out of bhatura while rolling.
- Always press the stuffed ball of dough with hands first as that helps in spreading the stuffing evenly and it will not pop out while rolling the bhatura.
- Always fry bhatura on high heat as they can absorb oil if fried on low heat and also will not puff perfectly.
