Ghee adds richness without compromising flavor.

In a bowl, add ½ cup semolina (fine semolina, not coarse) and 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted.

Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon sugar to the flour mixture.

Mix in ¼ teaspoon baking powder and ¼ teaspoon baking soda for fermentation.

Combine all dry ingredients thoroughly.

Add 1 cup yogurt (medium sour, not too sour) and mix well.

Add water as needed, sprinkling it gradually to avoid a sticky dough.

Knead the dough for about 3-4 minutes until smooth, using a little oil if it feels sticky.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for a minimum of 6 hours (or 8-10 hours in summer).

After resting, divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into balls.

Let the balls rest for an additional 10-15 minutes, covered with a damp cloth.

Heat oil in a deep pan until it is very hot (smoking).

Flatten each ball slightly and carefully slide it into the hot oil.

Fry until it puffs up, then flip and fry the other side until golden brown.

Remove the bhature and drain on paper towels.
