Bhatura

Bhatura is a deep-fried, fluffy Indian bread that is part of the popular dish Chole Bhature. Made from a dough of refined flour (maida), yogurt, baking soda, and a pinch of salt, the dough is kneaded until smooth and allowed to rest, making it soft and airy. The dough is then rolled into thick, round discs and deep-fried in hot oil until it puffs up and turns golden brown.

Bhatura is best enjoyed with Chole (spiced chickpeas), and it’s often served as a hearty breakfast or lunch in North India. The bread is soft, chewy, and slightly crispy on the outside, making it the perfect complement to spicy curries and chutneys.
