Bhatura Recipe | Bhature For Chole | How to make quick bhatura

Chole bhatura is a heavenly made combo. This delicious combo is an authentic cuisine of Punjabi. This combo is famous as chole bhature.

Though you can have chole with any other poori or naan or even with rice, it's still best paired with this bhature in the combo.

Chole bhature is a popular food across the country. Originally this belongs to North India (Punjab) but it's an equally popular dish across the country.

What is bhatura?

Bhatura is a deep-fried puffed bread. This is a little different than regular wheat flour poori. This is made with refined flour. Curd and soda make this soft with a slight crisp.

If you remember my aloo kachori recipe, that dough is also made by adding curd and soda or eno. The only difference was flour. In aloo kachori dough we use whole wheat flour and for bhatura take refined flour or maida.

Tips to make perfect fluffy bhatura?

Very essential to add curd and eno to flour for fluffy bhatura. You can also add baking powder/ soda/ yeast for leavening.

Add rava or semolina to make little crispy. Some also add rice flour. But my recipe is without any of these. i.e. I have taken only refined flour for this recipe.

Use warm water for mixing and kneading dough. Add 1 - 2 tbsp oil while kneading flour.

Knead this well for 8 - 10 minutes. Let it rest for 2 hours minimum.
