Gaothans call it Bhokache Vare some call it Worias while I call it  Waras

This Deep Fried Sweetish Doughnut shaped like Breads is Very popular in every East Indian Wedding Homes and during feast such as Christmas or Easter  Its prepared in huge quantities for all invited guest especially on Wedding Days and smaller quantity for small Families

My reciepe quantity  is for small family with 4 to 5 members  

Ingredients Required

2 Cups Wheat Flour ( It's Original ) it's bit heavy but that's the way it is

Some add Maida to make it light and spongy so this is optional

½  cup white Urid Dal soaked and pureed in mixer

¼  cup Besan Chana Dal flour ( Many other Worias reciepe doesn't contain Besan but in this reciepe I've added , you can skip this Besan if you like it)

½  cup Rice flour

Pinch or Required amount of Salt

100 to 150 gms of Jaggery​ melted and diluted in hot water ( originally)

But some even use Normal sugar to it to make it bit Sweetish

While others don't add at all so it's up to you how you like your Worias sweet or Non Sweet

15 gms / 1 Tablespoon dry instant yeast Diluted in Luke warm water

Required amount of lukewarm Water

30 gms melted Ghee

Method  Of  Preparation

Mix all of the above ingredients adding very little warm water to form a thick batter and leave this dough to ferment for at least 4 hours if the quantity is small  , but incase it's for large numbers big crowd then leave it to ferment overnight stored in warm place

The Next Day

Heat your kadahi with sufficient Oil for deep frying purpose

Then dip your hands in a bowl with water

Place 50 gms dough ball  on your wet Palm

Make Flatten Rings with your middle finger

Make a hole in center like you do it for your Doughnuts

After every 2-3 Worias wet the palm of your hands

So that the Worias will slip out in hot oil easily 

Deep fry these Worias until deep golden from all sides

Serve them preferably Hot

These Authentic East Indian Sweetish Bread goes very well especially with Meat Curries such as Stew , Indiyal , Roast , Moile  and Foogath
