Hi, Can we use baking soda instead of yeast...

[ankitapanchal01]

@prtishr Don't use baking sode, I used it once, and the butura was so oily!!

[Staphisagria]

We were in an indian restaurant lately and now we wanted to try making battura on ourselfes. It's really great !

Thanks from Berlin, Germany

[zeitgeistry]

this looks very similar to puri, except that it's needed semolina flour - is that for the taste or for the texture?

[yani1004]

@Einhundertx

I use dry yeast.

[MszAppleBottoms]

wow Thank u sooo much aunty I will be trying this soon and will suprise my parents with it when i go home for the holidays! 5 stars!!!

[DharaTD]

Hello Aunty...Can I make dough without using yeast ?

[marif8]

yeast is neccesary or can we use baking soda

[supercow500]

what kind of yogurt do u use?

[Manjulaskitchen]

any plain yogurt will work.

[jatindhian]

@Manjulaskitchen Yes any plane yogurt will work

[sonypaulpeter]

thank you auntyji.

it was nice. even if i rolled battura balls well, it kind of shrinked when i picked up every time. and because of that batturas i made was little bit small and thick.

anyone know how to avoid getting shrink?.

except for that, batturas were puffy, soft and delicious.

thanks again

[Manjulaskitchen]

Dough was fermented more then it should have been if it happened again take a spoon of flour and knead with the dough. This is a very common problem.

[khamo678]

i love your cooking thanks for showing

[MsLove2cook]

Dear Manjula Aunty, I like ur way of cooking and explaing the recipe, easy to follow. Thanks a lot!!!!!!! looking forward for more!!!!!!!! :)

[rekkhabusy]

[sonamyiga]

auntiji,  namaste..

all ur recipe r wonderful... sonam.

[alliswell30]

Hi.. I really like your videos and ur recipes. Have been trying out quite a few of your recipes. I tried to make Battura following ur directions but, I faced a few problems. After four hours the dough had risen to double its size and it stuck to the wet cloth. The dough was so soft and stuck to the cloth that I had hard time separating the dough from the cloth. When I fried, it did not puff up well. Please, could you tell me where I went wrong. Would really appreciate your help.

[Manjulaskitchen]

depending on brand of the flour and thickness of the yogurt you may have to adjust the water.

[alliswell30]

Thank you for replying. i used 4tbsp yogurt and the only water I used was the 3/4 cup that I had used to mix the yeast. Can I use less amount of water to mix the yeast?

[ruhatabassum]

Thank you for showing such a puffy baturas. I will also try in my kitchen.

[chickendumpligs]

dear majula jee! i wanna ask u iz CHOLA BHATURA also called PURRI CHOLAY?? bqz i searched soo much 4 purri cholay in ur recepies bt i cudnt found,,,is bhatura also called purri? plz tell

[Manjulaskitchen]

Puri and Batturas are two different kind of bread.

[123vrinda]

puri is made of atta whereas bhatura is made of all purpose flour/maida

[jayasambasivam]

Not necessarily tht puris is always made of atta in certain region(west bengal) its made of only maida

[sanam717]

i think purri is light (very light )and bhatura is heavy .

u can eat upto 5 purris easily but Bhatura are very heavy so u can't more than 3 i think (at least i can't :P .)

(i never make this i just eat this in home and in market )

[jumpinjacksflash]

thanks for sharing.

[vinciennebb]

thanks for the good recipe. Can i use something else instead of yogurt cos i can't eat dairy products.

[Manjulaskitchen]

do without yogurt.

[JerseyCityGirl9]

HI again. I followed the recipe above and let it rise a bit over 3 hours. I used two teaspoons of instant dry yeast. It did not need extra water, but the yogurt was watery. I think it could have gone to fours hours of rising because the balls rose up when they were sitting. Very good, flaky, chewy,yeasty lovely.

[JerseyCityGirl9]

4-6 hours for rising seems long to me. If the yeast rises this long, doesnt it fall? I have baked bread this way, but punch it down and let it rise again, sometimes regrigerated. Do you do this to get the sour taste, or what? I dont know why you let it rise so long. THanks Mary.

[vsanjay85]

You are wonderful Manjula. I really appreciate the way you explain your recipes. It makes them look so simple! Thanks again!

[Mirpuria]

Auntie G zindabad! I have watched your recipes with great care and will hope to learn to become a cook myself and not rely on Ammi's cooking all the time.

[balapank]

[khadagzai]

[MUZIKfactory]

Dear Manjula

Thanks you for the recipe. By the way what is the difference between a Puri and a Bhatura?

Capl1

[Manjulaskitchen]

[GoranMak]

We have the same plates Auntie!! I love this one! Will try iy!

XOXO

[kalragh]

Manjulaji ,

Is it 4 tbsp of youghurt or is it 3 tbsp of youghurt that should be used. Your ingredient list shows 3 tbsp (also on your website) whereas on the video you say to add 4 tbsp of youghurt . Please can you clarify - thanks

[Manjulaskitchen]

sorry I made a mistake it should be 3 tablespoon of yogurt.

[ghalbeafg]

manjula aunty u r great in cooking.i am just wondering all these food are made in oil. my concern is getting fat espacially living in usa when you drive everywhere instead of walking. what can we do to reduce using oil to make it more healthy?

[Abaraxies]

exercise!

[roshnianand]

Dear Manjula aunty. Your recipes are a great boon for us who are staying abroad longing to eat good Indian food....thanks a lotttt...

[mlsdd]

I use ghi instead of oil ( ghi is clearfyed butter) , it doesn't accumulate on the body, you use it for cooking, for frying , for anything in substitute of the oil.

[smriti1975]

Hi Manjula,

Your videos are really amazing.I really like your videos.you have explained it wonderfully.Thanks.

[manjuvadhri]

[Manjulasbiggestfan]

Manjula, today I went for lunch to Brar sweet shop in Toronto. I had chole and battura and they were good but not as good as yours. I love all your recipes and will continue to watch and learn ALL of your wonderful episodes. Thank you so much for your postings. Please keep making them. I cant be without you and I want to learn more! Many, many thanks from Toronto. Special thanks from my sweetheart who is eating very well these days.

[hrithikroshan41]

i don´t understand aunty warm water?

sorry please reply

[akeelm111]

lukeworm water means not boiled but little warm water to mix the yeast in it.

[kajalghanekar]

can i make batura without using yeast ?

please reply

thank you

[Manjulaskitchen]

you can but you have to forment the dough overnight and add pinch of baking soda

[coolbilly]

how to make pani puri and also how to make asian style pasta plz

[MadhumitaB]

I have never seen such a wonderful recipe. Thanks Manjula. please let me know if I donot have yeast, can i still make battura?

[edelweisskai]

I am so happy I found your little corner. You are such a good mother:) Your kids are so lucky. I will definitely try to reproduce some of your recipes.

[VeeVeeVeeV]

Hello,

It was your Samosas recipes that lead me to your videos...and I look forward to all of your savoury dishes recipes. Does anyone make papadums? Seems you can only find them to buy in packages.

Thanks!!!

[nkaujhmoobxyooj559]

This is the best video showing to make Baturra, just what i was looking for. Thanks.

[pennylopez766]

manjula jee. is thick rollin pin better for rotis paratha and batura than a thin one. ? i have a thin indian rolling pin..

[jppa22586]

Is battura the same as puri?

[Manjulaskitchen]

no, puri is made with whole wheat flour and not fermented.

[PreetiBanwait]

They are basically the same thing. They are prepared and cooked exactly the same way. Only difference is that puri uses chapati/roti flour. And bhatura uses all-purpose flour. Puri comes out crunchy. Bhatura is moist, soft, chewy. Both are eaten with cholyas (garbanzo beans).

[mukeshkjain]

Simply beautiful! You make everything look so easy. My wife made battura for me last night it was simply delicious. Keep up the great work.

[arventsaud]

do you have to use yeast?

[savio4reiki]

hi manjula,did you use dry yeast or fresh yeast?

[Manjulaskitchen]

I use dry yeast

[Wivanunu]

Do you eat them as a snack or with dinner? Do you put anything inside? They look great!

[Manjulaskitchen]

Batturas are eaten with any gravy beans or vegetable but most popular with chola (chickpeas)

[duderanch111]

omg i just cried after watching this

beautiful

[isesaki3448]

Namastey ! I am happy to find your kitchen site . It will help a lot to cook Desi food . Thanks ! & regards !

[ontheskies]

does the yeast ingredient make it more chewy? because some people put in egg so im wondering what makes it chewy, since that is my favorite part abou baturas

[enverajanovic]

this looks like poori

[bestiaccia]

Nice!

[Evelita4]

How beautiful! These look so good :)

Thank you for sharing your wonderful art with us...can't wait to try this! Blessings

[calix468]

thank you manjula ji

[liveinmymusic]

looks like pita bread pockets. you can fill them!

[einsteinwallah]

I dont know why someone would mark your comment as "poor comment" because it sounds like an honest query. Pitas have pockets but pitas are firm and both sides are equally thick. Bhaturas have one side thin and crumbly because of frying, I guess the side which touches oil first. Thicker side is spongy and pliable. Cannot fill like pita but you could fill it and wrap like any flat bread wraps stuffed with fillings. Usually tho since it is fried it is eaten with curries, can be eaten alone.

[rojapooh]

thanks

[WoodworkingDaddy]

It looks great! Yummm.

[DadiJaan14]

wow...i am s trying this... - Dadi Jaan
