Bhatura
Bhatura 是一种发酵的印度炸面包,以其蓬松、柔软、略带嚼劲的口感而闻名。它是搭配 chole(香料鹰嘴豆咖喱)的经典组合,构成了备受欢迎的 Chole Bhature,这是一种流行的北印度街头小吃和节日美食。

🧂 食材
- 300 g 中筋面粉(Maida)(另备一些用于撒粉)
- 100 g 细印度粗麦粉(Sooji/Rava)(Full-fat yogurt will yield better results. It should be at room temperature.)
- 2 tbsp 盐(Adds a slight crispness to the bhatura.)
- 1 tsp 糖(Helps with the puffiness.)
- 0.5 tsp 小苏打(Optional, to taste. Enhances flavor.)
- 1 tsp 泡打粉(Helps with browning and fermentation.)
- approx. 100-120 ml 原味酸奶(Dahi)(室温,微酸的为佳)
- for deep frying 牛奶(温热的,或根据需要)
👨🍳 步骤
- 1
面团制作:在一个大碗中,混合中筋面粉、印度粗麦粉、盐、糖、小苏打和泡打粉。将这些干性食材彻底搅拌均匀。加入一汤匙酥油或油,用指尖将其揉搓到面粉混合物中,直至充分混合。加入酸奶并开始揉面。在继续揉面的同时,一次加入少量温热的牛奶。目标是揉出一个柔软、有韧性且不粘手的面团。用手用力揉约 5-10 分钟,或者在厨师机中以中速揉 5 分钟,直到面团光滑有弹性。按压时应能留下凹痕。在面团表面涂抹少量油。用湿厨房毛巾或保鲜膜盖住碗,放在温暖的地方发酵至少 2 小时,最多 4 小时。发酵期间,酵母会发挥作用,面团会发展出风味和质地。
⏱️ 2 minutes - 2
整形 Bhatura:发酵后,再次揉面约 30 秒到 1 分钟,使其恢复光滑。将面团分成 7-8 份(制作中等大小的 bhatura),或 5-6 份(制作大号的)。用手掌将每份面团滚成光滑的球状。用湿布盖住面团球,防止在操作过程中变干。在揉面垫和擀面杖上撒少量中筋面粉。取一个面团球,稍微压扁,然后擀成直径约 5-6 英寸(12-15 厘米)的圆形。厚度应均匀,不要太薄或太厚(约 1/4 英寸或 0.5 厘米)。确保没有裂缝或孔洞,这会影响膨胀。
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
油炸 Bhatura:在深锅(kadai)或厚底锅中倒入约 2-3 英寸的中性油,用中高火加热。当一小块面团放入油中时,发出嘶嘶声并迅速浮到表面,就表示油温适宜。将油温保持在 350-375°F(175-190°C)之间。小心地将一个擀好的 bhatura 滑入热油中。用漏勺轻轻按压 bhatura 的中心,促使其膨胀。在油炸过程中,用热油淋在 bhatura 上。当它明显膨胀且底部呈浅金黄色时,用漏勺翻面。另一面炸至金黄色。每面炸约 30-60 秒。避免过度油炸,否则 bhatura 会变硬且油腻。将炸好的 bhatura 从油中捞出,放在铺有厨房纸巾的盘子上沥干多余的油。
⏱️ 7 minutes - 4
装盘:重复油炸过程,将剩余的 bhatura 炸好。立即趁热供应蓬松的 bhatura,传统上搭配 Chole(香料鹰嘴豆咖喱)。
⏱️ 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
💡 专业技巧
- ✓确保面团不要太粘,否则会导致 bhatura 油腻。要揉至面团柔软但坚实。
- ✓油温对于膨胀至关重要。如果油温不够高,bhatura 会吸收过多油分而不会充分膨胀。如果油温太高,它会在外部很快变棕而内部未熟。
- ✓均匀且无裂缝地擀制 bhatura 对均匀膨胀很重要。如果擀制时面团感觉粘手,可以撒少量面粉,但要避免撒太多。
- ✓使用微酸的酸奶可以增强风味,并有助于面团发酵,从而使口感更柔软。
✨ 创意变奏
为您的创意版本提供灵感
- 为了获得更酥脆的口感,可以将 1/4 杯(约 40 克)中筋面粉替换为印度粗麦粉。
- 有些食谱会混合少量全麦面粉(atta)与中筋面粉,以增加营养和风味,但这可能会稍微改变传统的口感。
- 为了获得更浓郁的味道,可以用少量酥油代替植物油进行油炸,但这会更具奢华感。
