Bhatoora, bhatura or batoora, (Hindi: भटूरा, Urdu: بٹورا, Punjabi: ਭਟੂਰਾ) is a soft and fluffy, deep-fried bread from the North India, and is often eaten with chickpea curry, chole[disambiguation needed ] or channe, making the classic dish chole bhature.

Ingredients

A typical recipe includes white flour (maida), yogurt, ghee or oil, and yeast. Once kneaded well, the dough is left to rise, and then small balls of it are either hand-rolled or flattened using a rolling pin. Then the bread pieces are deep fried until they puff up into a lightly browned, soft, fluffy bread, which is elastic and chewy.

A nonfried variant is the kulcha, which can be baked or cooked on a flat pan and is garnished with coriander leaves. It is cooked from the same dough.
