  1. Hi Jaishree,

    My name is Uma and I discovered your blog yesterday and all the recipes seem so healthy and amazing. I have a quick question; Is there a way to roll the dough for Bhatura without using flour? Flour destroys the oil in which we are frying and also causes a lot more smoke residue.

    • Thanks Uma
      You can apply little oil to bhatura dough ball , press it with ur fingers and then roll it to give it a proper shape .Try it out and let me know if it works.

  2. I have a quick question… tht the quantity of flour is more than the quantity of curd.. nd it dose not get kneaded without water!! What if we add water while making dough!!

    • With curd i have also added boiled smashed potatoes.Water content of Boiled potatoes also gives nice binding to dough. if you still have issue while making the dough you can add extra curd or water to make it smooth.

  3. Hi,

    I found your blog during searching healthy fried recipe for my daughter school lunch… thanks for sharing it.. I have question that what will happen if I make bhatura dough and dont give it time to ferment… ?

  4. Hi, I just wanted to know that what if prepared dough has been kept for more than 6-7 hours like say for example it is kept for 11-12 hours, will it spoil the taste of bhature?

    • Hi Kosha
      It depends upon the climate… If it’s too humid or hot there is a chance of the dough to become spoil…. Most of the time people keep it for more time to give the sour taste but that’s not healthy even sometimes it makes stomach upset…;)
