Boulettes de pain de blé cuites (Bhatoora)
Ingrédients
- 5 cups (650 g / 1.4 lb) flour de blé
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp levure sèche active OU 1 tsp poudre à pâte
- 2 tsp ghee
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 cup (275 g / 9.7 oz) yoghurt
Instructions
1. Sift together the flour and salt.
2. Mix the yeast with ½ cup lukewarm water, and keep aside for 10 minutes.
3. Mix the ghee and sugar with the flour. Add the yoghurt and dissolved yeast or the baking soda. A little more lukewarm water may be added if necessary. Knead well until the dough becomes soft and pliable. Use a little oil to knead well.
4. Cover it with a wet cloth and keep aside for 4 hours.
5. Heat the ghee in a frying pan.
6. Make the dough into small balls. Roll the balls out very thin.
