Bhatura or Bhatoora is a deep fried leavened Indian flatbread. We use All purpose flour or Maida with Baking Soda and Curds for the dough. These are deep fried into fluffy, puffed up bread. A popular street food from the Punjabi Cuisine, pair it with Chole or Chana Masala or Chickpea curry. The traditional combination is called as Chole Bhature.

Instructions
In a big mixing bowl add Maida, Curd, Soda, and Salt to taste. Mix well. Then add water little by little to form a dough. It should be a little stiff as it will become soft after setting aside for 2 hrs.
Take a muslin cloth, wet it in water, and cover the dough. Keep it aside for two hours.
When you are ready to roll, divide the dough into required sized balls, roll them out into circle shape, dusting it with flour.
Heat oil in a kadai and deep fry the bhaturas to golden colour.
Serve hot with Channa Masala garnished with Onion rings and lime.
