About this dish
Bhatura is a puffed, deep-fried, sourdough leavened flatbread commonly served for breakfast. Originating in North Indian cuisine, it is also eaten in other regions. Similar to naan, it is made with maida flour and leavened using yogurt, which produces lactic acid bacteria. It puffs up when fried and has a soft, fluffy texture. It is sometimes eaten as street food or as festival food. Paired with chickpea curry, it forms a dish called chole bhature.
