    Bhatura Recipe

    Anything deep fried is mine and my sweet heart's favorite. Starting my Samosa to Bhatura, we drool for this. I made this some days back for dinner and served it along side with a spicy chana masala. My god the combo was amazing and hubby loved it a lot and even thanked me for doing this for him. He even requested me to do this more often, because as a food blogger I don't repeat making the same dishes over and over again, He knows that.

    About Bhatura Recipe

    Bhatoora (also known as batoora, bhatura, batura, or pathora) is a fluffy deep-fried leavened sourdough bread originating from the Indian subcontinent. It is commonly served as a midday meal or a breakast dish in northern and eastern India. Paired with chickpea curry (called chole or channe), it forms a traditional dish called chole bhature which originated in Punjab. This bread is like the puri bread but is made with leavened dough.

      Baking Powder is different from Baking Soda. Baking soda is khara soda or Meetha soda. You can also use Eno Fruit salt. Baking Powder on the other hand is used for breads, it makes the batter rise.

      Hii. I'm a big fan of your recipes. But I thought to add a simple method of making bhatura dough. I kneet it with liquid soda and add 1 spoon of suji/rava, salt and sugar and keeping it aside for 15 minutes. And bhatura becomes really puffy and tasty.

      Hi Aarthi! I follow your blog pretty much everyday and paneer tikka is always a favorite in the family.
      Thanks for sharing the recipes to everyone. I would like to check with you in regards to the blog. I am not able to open the blog
      In my office computer. As we do not have access to all the websites but we still have access to blogs so I used to check the recipes before finishing work but since yesterday your blog is not
      Opening. Did you change anything in terms of blog to website?

      @Purnima Khannai think the oil may be not hot enough or dough is too loose
