North Indian Fermented Bread (Batooru)

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

Instructions

  1. 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. 2
    Add water in small amounts and knead well until the dough becomes soft and pliable.
  3. 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. 4
    The next morning, take the batooru out from cloth and shallow fry them like a parantha.
  5. 5
    Serve them hot, especially with with sabzi (spicy cooked vegetables), lassi, and mango pickles.
