Chef's Notes
Do not skip the semolina! It adds that crucial structural integrity and delightful crunch that separates an amateur attempt from a masterpiece worthy of a banquet table.
Pro Tip
When boiling your dough balls, ensure the water is already at a rolling boil before dropping them in, otherwise they will dissolve into sad, soggy blobs of disappointment.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to let the boiled baflas dry before hitting the hot tawa will cause an aggressive, sputtering explosion of hot ghee and steam that will instantly terrorize your stovetop.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the chef why we boil the dough just to fry it again; he told me it's to confuse the wheat so much it forgets it was ever humble flour.
The Culinary Science
The baking soda reacts with moisture and heat during boiling to release carbon dioxide gas pockets inside the dough, creating that iconic fluffy interior texture.
