- Bhatoora
Bhatoora Hindi (भटूरा)is a soft and fluffy Indian fried bread, and is often eaten with a
chickpea curry , "choley ", making the classic Punjabi dishchole bhature , even though it originated in Delhi and the surrounding areas.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 is deep fried until they puff up into a lightly browned soft fluffy bread, which is elastic and chewy.A cholesterol-free 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.
