Method of Preparation :

Sieve flour, soda-bi-carbonate and salt together. Make a bay in the centre, add curd and the beaten egg. Knead to a soft dough, adding lukewarm water, if needed. Knead very well till smooth. Cover and keep aside for 4 hours.

Marinate the minced mutton with all the ingredients except limejuice and oil for 1 hour.

Heat oil, add mince mixture and stir fry over a medium low heat. After the mince is browned and nicely done, add enough hot water to cover the mince. Cover and cook till done. Evaporate excess water, if any. Add lime juice and remove from fire.

Divide the dough into 16 portions and the mince into 8 portions. Roll two portions of the dough into circles. Spread one portion of the filling over one and cover with the other. Moisten and press the sides. Roll once more a little. Prepare all the bhaturas in the same manner.

Heat enough oil in a pan for deep frying. Fry one bhatura at a time over medium heat till brown.
