Chola Batura Recipe Directions:
In a large bowl add the flour and butter. With your hands, blend the butter into the flour until it forms coarse crumbs.
Stir water and yeast until yeast is completely dissolved. Now make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the yogurt, sugar, egg, salt, ajwain seeds and yeast mixture.
Knead into the flour and until the whole dough collects into a mass. It will be sticky.
Wipe your hands clean and oil them. Now knead the dough with the oiled hands until smooth and satiny adding additional flour if required, for about 10 minutes; till you get a satiny finish and texture to the dough.Be careful to not add too much oil while kneading.
Cover the bowl and let the dough rest until doubled in volume about 4 hours.
Punch down the dough, knead for a minute and divide into 20 equal portions.
With a rolling pin, quickly roll out each ball into a 5-7 inch round.
Heat oil in a frying pan/ deep fryer. Adding enough oil such that the rolled bread can get immersed in the oil to get fried. When the oil is hot and ready about 190C, gently slip 1 bread into the oil.
Fry the bread, turning once until puffed, cooked and lightly browned. Using a slotted spatula/spoon drain the bread and transfer to a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Serve hot with a vegetable gravy of your choice or the plain old classic Chola Batura.
