Ingredients

• 2 cups (400 g) chickpea flour or besan
• 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons (10 ml) baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) cumin powder
• 1/4 teaspoon (1.2 ml) baking soda
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) soya milk, alternative or plain
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) oil for deep-frying

Directions

1. In a large bowl, add the chickpea flour and baking powder, cumin powder, and baking soda
2. Add the oil and mix with your hands until it forms a crumbly texture
3. Now add the soya milk in increments, stirring after each addition, until the dough comes together
4. Now knead the dough for 5 minutes
5. Divide the dough into equal sized balls
6. Take a ball and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to make a thin disc, about 5-6 inches (13-15 cm) in diameter
7. Heat the oil in a deep pan on medium-high heat. Check if the oil is hot enough by adding a small bit of the dough - if it comes up immediately, the oil is ready
8. Place the disc gently in the hot oil and fry until golden brown on one side. Flip and fry until golden brown on the other side.
9. Once ready, take the Bhaturas out and place them on kitchen paper towels to absorb the excess oil
10. Serve warm and enjoy!
