Bhatura



Dough (Makes about 12 bhaturas)
2 C unbleached all purpose flour
1 Tbsp oil
1 small boiled potato, mashed
1/2 C warm water
1/8 tsp yeast
2 Tbsp yogurt

Add the yeast to the slightly warm water and keep aside. Mix the flour, oil, and potato thoroughly.  Now add the  yeast and water mixture, and the yogurt.  Mix the dough until it sticks together and forms a ball that does not stick to your hands.  Cover, and keep in a warm location (like a lighted oven) for one to two hours to rise.

Frying
Heat oil in a wok.  Break off pieces of dough and roll each piece into a circle about four inches across.  When the oil is hot, add the bread to the oil, and fry on both sides.  Enjoy with chana, onions marinated in vinegar and a pinch of sugar, and tamarind chutney.
