Bhatura was my childhood (OK, agree, even now ) obsession – those fluffy, golden clouds of deliciousness! And let’s not forget the fried green chili on the side, adding that perfect spicy kick. Heaven!
Bhatura
Bhatura is a popular Indian bread, known for its fluffy, golden, and slightly tangy texture. Made from refined flour and yogurt, it's deep-fried to perfection, resulting in a soft and airy delight. Often served with spicy chickpea curry (chole), bhatura is a favorite dish for brunch or special occasions.
