2. 2

   Mix to a fairly soft dough, adding more water if necessary. Add the ghee and knead the dough until it is smooth and pliable; put it back in the bowl, cover with a damp cloth and put in a warm place for about 4 hours to rise.

   Knead the dough again and divide into ten balls; roll out each one on a greased board to a circle about 4 inches in diameter.

4. 4

   Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or wok and fry the bhaturas, one at a time turning them so that they tur that they turn pale golden on both sides; drain on paper towels and keep warm while you fry the remainder.

5. 5

   In the picture all ten are frying at once. The 5 hours prep time includes the 4 hours rising, and the 30 minutes cooking time is an approximation that will depend on how many you try frying at a time and how quickly they brown.
