Want to know what is @taapsee 's most favorite meal to indulge into. It's CHOLE BHATURE! Slow ferment the dough as shown and enjoy this gluten free, Indian sourdough bread this festive season like she does😍 Unfortunately, it has long been dismissed as junk and it's time, we change the narrative around health. Better late than never! Isn't it?
P.S. the slow and long fermentation of the dough renders the wheat gluten free in this recipe🧡💛”

“lMam, How is it gluten free when we r adding wheat flour n maida”
“Whether it is a hung curd? My curd was little liquid when i used the recipe from the book”
“But since no starter is added …will it still be considered as sour dough” and more.

Ingredients:
• Fresh dahi – ¾ cup
• Whole wheat flour (gehu atta) – 2.5 cups
• Sugar - ½ tablespoon
• Salt – 1 tablespoon
• Ghee
Method
• First of all, mix a few ingredients in a bowl for the dough. Take the mentioned amount of fresh dahi (ensure it isn't sour) along with maida. Add gehu atta (whole wheat flour) and half a tablespoon of sugar. Mix all the ingredients well and you may or may not require water to knead it into a dough.
• Cover the bowl with a cloth or lid and set it aside in a warm place overnight or for 7-8 hours to allow it to naturally ferment.
• Next morning, add about a tablespoon of salt and the same amount of ghee to the fermented dough. You can mix some warm water if required (not hot water). Gather the dough into a single compact ball.
• Now, you have to use a damp cloth to cover it. Again, set it aside in a warm place for about a couple of hours.
• Knead the dough again. Finally, it's time to shape into 15-20 balls or as per your requirements.
• Roll the balls into bhature and deep fry in ghee and your fluffy delight is ready.
• Now, you can serve it hot with chole, pickled ginger and onions or any other homemade pickle.
