Cookbook:North Indian Fermented Bread (Batooru)

| Flatbread | Cuisine of India

Batooru is a North Indian fermented bread similar to bhatoora, but is mostly popular in traditional Himachali cuisine. This bread requires overnight preparation.

Ingredients

 * Wheat flour
 * 1 tsp salt
 * 2 tsp ghee
 * Water

Procedure

 * 1) Mix wheat flour and salt together. Add ghee and mix well so that there are no lumps and the ghee is evenly absorbed.
 * 2) Add water in small amounts and knead well until the dough becomes soft and pliable.
 * 3) When the dough is ready, form the dough into balls and roll them flat. Keep it slightly thick, unlike a bhatoora which is rolled to be very thin. Place the rolled batooru on a clean cloth and cover them with another moist cloth. Leave them covered overnight.
 * 4) The next morning, take the batooru out from cloth and shallow fry them like a parantha.
 * 5) Serve them hot, especially with with sabzi (spicy cooked vegetables), lassi, and mango pickles.
