Chole Bhatura Recipe | Bhatura Recipe with Natural Yeast

By Shivangi Sharma - May 18, 2017

Chole bhature is a very heavy,common and most popular dish. Punjab and delhi chole bhatura are very famous. I always make bhature with fermented dough. It is not harmful for the health. We can also make instant bhatura but I generally avoid this instant method as access use of Maida (all purpose flour) is not good for health. Fermented maida is not harmful instead.

Ingredients:

For Bhatura:

All purpose flour ( Maida ) - 500gm
ENO - 1 sachet or Baking Powder - 1 tbsp
Curd - 1 cup
Water - As required for dough making
Salt as per taste
Oil for deep fry

For Chole:

Kabuli Chana - 250gm
Oil - 2 tbsp
Baking Soda - 1 pinch
Tej patta - 2
Finley chopped onion - 2
Finely chopped tomato - 2
Chopped green chilly - 2
Cumin seeds - 1tbsp
Hing - 1 pinch
Red chilli powder - 1 tbsp ( or as require)
Turmeric powder - 3/4 tbsp
Coriander powder - 2 tbsp
Salt - as per taste
lemon juice - 2 tbsp
coriander leaves - 2 tbsp finely chopped
Garam masala - 1/2 tbsp

Preparation for Bhatura:

1. Place flour, ENO / Baking powder and salt in a bowl. Mix well and pass it through a sieve. Mix yogurt with salt and sugar.

2. Add this to the flour and add about a cup of water and mix gradually to make a soft dough by light kneading.

3. Incorporate two tablespoons of oil into the dough and cover the dough with a wet cloth. Keep it aside for 7-8 hours.

4. Divide dough into equal portions. Roll them into balls. Cover and keep to ferment for ten minutes. Grease your palms with a little oil and flatten the balls.

5. Roll out into five-inch diameter diskettes. Heat sufficient oil in a kadai and deep fry the bhaturas on high heat till light brown on both sides. Drain on absorbent paper. Serve hot with chole.

* For instant bhatura make dough with the help of soda water and leave it for 2 hours.

Preparation for chole:

1.    First soak chole in water for 7-8 hours. Add a pinch of baking soda in it. Reason is your chole will become soft.

2.    Drain the water and cook / boil the chole+salt in a pressure cooker.

3.    Now mash the chole little with the help of masher.

4.    Take a kadai/pan, add 2 tbsp oil.

5.    Add cumin seeds and hing. Now add tej patta and green chilli. cook for 1 minute.

6.    Now add onion and cook till it become golden brown.

7.    Now add tomatoes and all the spices except garam masala. Cook for 5-7 minutes.

8.    Now add all the chole with its water and cook for 10 minutes.

9.    Now add garam masala and lemon juice and cook for 10 minutes.
10.  Now add coriander leaves. its ready :)

* You can also make a paste of onion, tomato, ginger and green chilli and cook it.

eggless chocolate cake recipe

Step by Step Eggless Chocolate Cake Recipe in Pressure Cooker | How to make eggless chocolate cake at home

By Shivangi Sharma - April 30, 2017

Cakes are generally made with Eggs but for strict vegetarians, this is a problem. So here I am sharing eggless cake recipe.This Eggless Chocolate Cake Recipe makes soft and spongy cake without using eggs. In this recipe you can use condensed milk or amul cream or homemade cream.

In this recipe I will cover 2 types of cakes. First, eggless vanilla sponge cake and second eggless chocolate sponge cake. Recipe is the same but in chocolate cake I will add choco powder in the mixture.

* If you don't like chocolate cake, don't add coco powder and you can make eggless vanilla sponge cake. By adding pineapple flavor or fruit flavor you can make pineapple cake and fruit cake as well with the same recipe.

Please find the recipe below:

Ingredients:

All purpose flour (Maida) - 2 cup
Icing sugar - 1 cup
Amul Cream / Homemade cream - 1 cup
Baking powder - 1 tbsp
Baking soda - 1/4 tbsp
Vanilla Extract or Pineapple Essence or Fruit Essence- 1 tbsp
Milk - 1 cup
Coco Powder - 1 tbsp
2-3 small cup of salt

Preparation: (Please see the images below)

First, mix all purpose flour, baking powder, coco powder and baking soda in a mixing bowl.

Now take another bowl and add amul cream and mix icing sugar with the help of hand mixer.

Now add dry mixture in this wet mixture little by little and mix with the help of hand mixer. If you feel the mixture is becoming dry then add little milk as per the requirement. Mixture should be thin and lumpy.

Now add 1 tbsp vanilla extract and mix well.

Now grease your tin container with the help of ghee / butter and place butter paper. Grease this butter paper with ghee.

Now pour all the mixture in the container and leave it for 5 minutes so all the mixture will set properly.

Now place this container in pressure cooker on a stand and add 2-3 small cups of salt in the base of cooker.

Remove the whistle of pressure cooker and cook the cake for 30-40 minutes.

Check the cake with the help of knife. Put the knife in the center of the cake if knife will come out clean then your cake is cooked :)

Let chocolate cake cool-down to room temperature.Flip the pan and rack together to easily remove the cake.

For Chocolate frosting and normal whipping cream frosting, I will share the recipe soon.
