1. Mix ¾ cup (150ml) warm water (20 secs in the microwave) with 2 teaspoons dry yeast and 1tsp sugar.
2. Set aside for 20 minutes/till it starts to froth.
3. Empty 2 cups plain flour into a mixing bowl, add 4 tbsp semolina and 1 tsp salt and mix these dry ingredients together thoroughly.

5. Bring together lightly till it forms a ball, if necessary add a tbsp or two of water.
6. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for about 4 hours
7. Now divide into 8 parts.
8. Form round balls
9. Heat some vegetable oil (about 6 cm deep) in a wok
10. To get fluffy bhaturas the oil needs to be really hot so test a small piece of dough – it will fluff up and float if the oil is hot enough.      
11. Dip one of the balls of dough into some flour. Now roll out the first bhatura into a large oval or round, don’t worry too much about the shape.
12. Deep-fry each side till golden brown and puffy.
13. Repeat steps 11 and 12 till all the bhaturas have been fried
