Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Folks, Is everybody happy I just want to share this with you all. My friend, Minnie has invited me to her house this weekend for a " eatsy bitsy " . Most of all she is going to teach me how to make " Bhatura " and " Puri " . She told me that it does not smell the house up, unlike Chapatti or Naan Bread. I did a google and came up with so many different regional variations of these dishes All are nice I am so excited now and I just can't wait Yipee Yipee Yip Yip, me smelling of roses now...and all the way up to Minnie's house this weekend. There goes Donna...that song was for you since you ask me to sing, ha, lol Best Wishes to all you lovely people out there. Hope you are all singing like me and the birds are happy here too, la la la...la la Wee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Dear Donna et all, I couldn't get to Minnie's on time When I finally reach hers, the Bhatura was already made and ready to be deep fried However, I am told to just add water(slowly) to Plain Homepride " leavened " flour. Then, watch it rise and knead it to ensure it is " bouncy " and does not stick to the work surface. +++(The secret here is to get the mixture " water and flour " right)+++ Divide the dough up into small cubes. Then, squash it flat with rolling pin till it becomes a round shape. Cover with greaseproof paper(to stop it drying out). Then when you are ready, just fry it in a bath of oil and watch it " ballooned " . +++(The secret here is to fry it with the " correct temperature " )+++. If the Bhatura comes out greasy, then the frying temperature is wrong. If it comes out without any traces of grease, you have got the correct temperature. As long as you maintain the correct temperature(from now on), every single one after that will be nice Sorry I couldn't get the amount of ingredients from Minnie. She does not measure the ingredients at all. She does it by using her " instinct " . We didn't have time to make the Puri. But I am told, it is exactly the same method. The only difference between Puri and Bhatura is ;- Puri is made with " unleavened flour " . Whereas Bhatura is made with " leavened flour " . On my next visit, Minnie will show me how to make " Dosa " (i.e. thin pancake). There is also a chance I may be able to make " Appam " ,also from South India.
