Bhatura
Bhatura 是一種發酵過的炸印度麵包,以其蓬鬆、柔軟且帶點嚼勁的質地而聞名。它是搭配 chole(香料鷹嘴豆咖哩)的絕佳選擇,組合而成的 Chole Bhature 是北印度一道受歡迎的街頭小吃和節慶餐點。

🧂 食材
- 300 g 中筋麵粉 (Maida)(另備少許用於沾黏)
- 100 g 細的 semolina (Sooji/Rava)(Full-fat yogurt will yield better results. It should be at room temperature.)
- 2 tbsp 鹽(Adds a slight crispness to the bhatura.)
- 1 tsp 糖(Helps with the puffiness.)
- 0.5 tsp 小蘇打粉(Optional, to taste. Enhances flavor.)
- 1 tsp 泡打粉(Helps with browning and fermentation.)
- approx. 100-120 ml 原味優格 (Dahi)(室溫,微酸的較佳)
- for deep frying 牛奶(溫熱,或依需求)
👨🍳 步驟
- 1
麵糰準備:在一個大攪拌盆中,混合中筋麵粉、semolina、鹽、糖、小蘇打粉和泡打粉。將這些乾性材料充分攪拌均勻。加入一湯匙酥油或油,用指尖將其搓入麵粉混合物中,直到均勻混合。加入優格並開始揉麵。一邊揉麵,一邊少量逐步加入溫熱的牛奶。目標是揉成一個柔軟、有彈性且不黏手的麵糰。用手揉約 5-10 分鐘,或用攪拌機中速揉 5 分鐘,直到麵糰光滑且有彈性。按壓時應有凹痕。用少許油輕輕塗抹麵糰表面。用濕布或保鮮膜蓋住攪拌盆,放在溫暖的地方發酵至少 2 小時,最多 4 小時。這個發酵時間能讓酵母作用,並讓麵糰發展出風味和質地。
⏱️ 2 minutes - 2
塑形 Bhatura:發酵後,再次輕揉麵糰約 30 秒至 1 分鐘,使其變得更光滑。將麵糰分成 7-8 份(中型 bhatura)或 5-6 份(大型 bhatura)。將每份麵糰在手掌之間滾成光滑的圓球。用濕布蓋住麵糰球,防止在製作過程中乾燥。在擀麵墊和擀麵棍上輕輕撒上中筋麵粉。取一個麵糰球,稍微壓扁,然後擀成直徑約 5-6 英吋(12-15 公分)的圓形。厚度應均勻,不可太薄或太厚(約 1/4 英吋或 0.5 公分)。確保沒有裂縫或孔洞,這會影響膨脹。
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
油炸 Bhatura:在一個深鍋(kadai)或厚底鍋中,倒入約 2-3 英吋的中性植物油,以中高火加熱。放入一小塊麵糰,若能迅速冒泡並浮上來,表示油溫已達。將油溫維持在 350-375°F (175-190°C) 之間。小心地將一個擀好的 bhatura 滑入熱油中。用漏勺輕輕按壓 bhatura 的中心,幫助其膨脹。油炸時,用熱油潑灑在 bhatura 上。當它顯著膨脹且底部呈淺金黃色時,用漏勺翻面。將另一面炸至金黃色。這個過程每面約需 30-60 秒。避免炸過頭,以免 bhatura 變硬和油膩。從油中取出炸好的 bhatura,放在鋪有廚房紙巾的盤子上吸去多餘的油。
⏱️ 7 minutes - 4
上菜:重複油炸過程,直到所有 bhatura 都炸完。趁 bhatura 熱騰騰、蓬鬆時立即上菜,傳統上搭配 Chole(香料鷹嘴豆咖哩)。
⏱️ 2-3 hours - 5
Divide and shape: Once the dough has fermented, punch it down gently to release the air. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball. Cover the balls with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out while you work.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Roll out the bhatura: On a lightly oiled surface or a surface lightly dusted with flour, take one dough ball at a time and roll it out into an oval or round shape, about 6-7 inches in diameter and approximately 1/4 inch thick. Avoid rolling too thin, as this can prevent puffing. Ensure the edges are not too thin.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 7
Heat the oil for frying: Pour enough oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed pan or kadai to allow the bhatura to float freely. Heat the oil over medium-high heat to approximately 175°C (350°F). To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of dough into it; it should sizzle immediately and float to the surface.
⏱️ 10-15 minutes - 8
Deep fry the bhatura: Carefully slide one rolled-out bhatura into the hot oil. Gently press down on the center with a slotted spoon to encourage it to puff up evenly. Fry for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until it is puffed, golden brown, and slightly crisp. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry 1-2 bhaturas at a time.
⏱️ 2-3 minutes per bhatura - 9
Drain and serve: Remove the fried bhatura from the oil using a slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drip off. Place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any remaining oil. Serve immediately while hot and puffy.
⏱️ 1 minute per bhatura
💡 專業提示
- ✓確保麵糰不要太黏,否則會導致 bhatura 變得油膩。充分揉捏直到麵糰柔軟但結實。
- ✓油溫是影響膨脹的關鍵。如果油溫不夠高,bhatura 會吸收過多油而無法 properly 膨脹。如果油溫太高,外部會太快變色,內部卻未熟。
- ✓均勻擀開且無裂縫的 bhatura 對於均勻膨脹很重要。如果擀麵時麵糰感覺黏手,可輕輕撒點麵粉,但避免撒太多。
- ✓使用微酸的優格可以增強風味並有助於麵糰發酵,從而產生更柔軟的質地。
✨ 創意點子
發揮創意,製作屬於您自己的食譜版本
- 為了更酥脆的口感,可以用 1/4 杯(約 40 克)中筋麵粉替換成 semolina。
- 有些食譜會混合少量全麥麵粉(atta)和中筋麵粉,以增加營養和風味,但這可能會稍微改變傳統的質地。
- 為了更濃郁的風味,可以少量使用酥油來油炸,而不是植物油,但這會更為奢華。
