Bhatura recipe | How to make bhatura

Bhatura recipe with step by step photos. Sharing here a very easy yet perfect recipe for bhatura, fried flour based bread, the mot sought after chole bhature, an ever popular street food across India.

I make bahtura every now and then. The bhatura recipe I am sharing here is the perfect one. The bhatura turn out to be light, all puffed. Crispy from outside yet very soft. I was so happy when even the color of the bhatura was very light as we get in restaurants.

To make bhatura recipe, you do not need many ingredients. Just flour, rava, curd, sugar etc are needed. The trick for making perfect bhatura starts right from making the dough.

1.The dough has to be soft but not very soft like roti dough, if the dough is very soft the bhaturas will be dense and will not puff up.

2.Next do not make the dough very dry, it should be somewhat sticky, you can always dust with flour while rolling.

3. Rest the dough for minimum 2 hours to develop gluten. Only if the dough is rested well you will be able to roll well.

4. Roll a bahtura just like how you will rolla poori. Not very thin, not very thick. If you roll very thin, bhatura will not puff, if rolled very thick bhatura will be very dense and under cooked. Always try to serve bhatura piping hot.

Serve bhatura with a delicious chole for a unique and wonderful meal else you can also serve bhatura with any spicy curry of your choice.
