Pisir or Bhaturas

We in India, love eating deep fried, buttery, anything that we are not supposed to eat . Well, who doesnt! But I think its ok, once in a while to indulge. I love eating chole bhature, and when here in US, my turkish friend Ulfet, told me this recipe for pisir, it reminded me of bhaturas. I tried it, and yes.. pisir almost tastes like bhaturas!

It takes a little effort, but completely worth it! Try it.

Ingredients:
1 cup warm water,
1 tbsp yeast,
1 tbsp sugar,
flour,
salt about a tsp,
oil for frying

In a mixing bowl, add yeast and sugar and then a cup of warm water. Let it sit for about 10-15 mins, till it rises. Add salt and flour and mix with your hand. The dough should be soft. Dip in a little flour while rolling out little circles, and deep fry them in hot oil. Flip once to cook both sides, till they are golden.

Eat with chole, or cheese and olives or just with tomatoes. Excellent as a snack.
