Whisk oil, sugar, and salt in the buttermilk. Add the buttermilk mix to flour mix. Start with 1/2 cup of butter milk and knead well to make dough. You may need to adjust the buttermilk quantity. The dough will be slightly sticky, pliable, and soft. Knead for about 5 minutes. Cover it with wet cloth and keep it in a warm place for 1 hour. Make a lemon sized balls of the dough. On a floured surface, roll the flour balls into an elliptical shape, about 1/4" thick. Heat oil in a deep-frying fan. A quick way to check the temperature of oil without thermometer is to pinch a small quantity of dough and put it in oil. It should sizzle to the surface immediately. Once oil is heated, tip in the rolled bhaturas into the oil sliding from the sides of the pot. Be careful because the oil may splutter. Fry the bhaturas flipping them until they turn slightly golden on both sides. Make sure that you don’t fry the bhatures long because you want them to be soft and light golden. Drain from the oil and place on paper towel. Serve warm. Recipe FROM: MMMMM .
