'''Bhatoora''' (also known as '''batoora''', '''bhatura''', '''batura''', or '''pathora''') ({{lang-hi|भटूरा}}, {{lang-pa|ਭਟੂਰਾ}}) is a fluffy [[Deep fry|deep-fried]] [[Leavening agent|leavened]] sourdough bread originating from the [[Indian subcontinent]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Bhanwar|first=Seema|last2=Bamnia|first2=Meenakshi|last3=Ghosh|first3=Moushumi|last4=Ganguli|first4=Abhijit|date=2012|title=Use of Lactococcus lactis to enrich sourdough bread with g-aminobutyric acid|journal=International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition|pages=1-5}}</ref> It is commonly served as a midday meal or a breakast dish in northern and [[India]].<ref name=":0" /> Paired with [[chickpea]] [[curry]], called ''[[chana masala|'''chhole''']]'' or ''channe,'' it forms a traditional dish called ''[[chole bhature|chhole bhature]]'' which originated in Punjab.

This bread is like the [[Puri (food)|puri]] bread but is made with leavened dough.<ref>{{cite book |last=Ramineni |first=Shubhra |title=Entice With Spice: Easy Indian Recipes for Busy People |date=28 February 2012 |isbn=9781462905270 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LpXTAgAAQBAJ&pg=PT206}}</ref>

==Preparation==
A typical recipe includes all-purpose flour (''maida''), [[dahi (curd)|dahi]] (yogurt), ''[[ghee]]'' or oil, and either [[yeast]] or baking powder. Once kneaded well, the dough is left to rise, and then small balls of this dough are either hand-rolled or flattened using a rolling pin. The bread pieces are then deep fried until they puff up into a lightly browned, soft, fluffy bread, which is elastic and chewy.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Gadia|first=Madhu|title=The Indian Vegan Kitchen|publisher=Penguin Publishing Group|year=2009|pages=300}}</ref>

Bhatura is often eaten with yogurt, pickle, or vegetables. When eaten with chole, it forms a popular traditional dish known as [[chole bhature]].<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">{{Cite book|last=Patel|first=Varsha|title=Recipes from My Home Kitchen|publisher=Xlibris Corporation|year=2013|pages=28}}</ref>

== Variations ==
A variation of this dish is to use semolina flour instead of all purpose flour. <ref>{{Cite book|last=Godbole|first=Nandita|title=A Dozen Ways to Celebrate: Twelve Decadent Feasts for the Culinary Indulgent|publisher=Curry Cravings|year=2014}}</ref> Other variations include ''aloo bhatura'' (bhatura filled with potato) and paneer bhatura (bhatura filled with [[paneer]]).

A nonfried variant is the ''[[kulcha]]'', which can be baked or cooked on a flat pan and is garnished with coriander leaves.
