FAQS

  1. Can I use all-purpose flour instead of wheat flour?

    Yes, you can substitute wheat flour with all-purpose flour for a more traditional bhature texture.

  2. Why is semolina added to the dough?

    Semolina adds a slight crispiness to the bhature and helps in achieving a better texture.

  3. How long should I rest the dough?

    Rest the dough for at least one hour to allow it to rise slightly and become soft.

  4. Can I make bhature without yogurt?

    Yogurt helps in fermentation and softness, but you can substitute it with buttermilk or a mix of milk and lemon juice.

  5. What oil is best for frying bhature?

    Any neutral oil like vegetable oil or sunflower oil works well for frying bhature.
