Bhaturae

Vegan, Vegetarian, Raw, fermented and probiotic scholar

Bhaturae (singular: Bhatura, some folk also refer to them as bhaturas/plural) are one of the most glorious breads eaten in India and they’re always eaten with a side of the warm chickpea stew, chole. Bhaturas are a type of leavened deep-fried bread that is made using baking powder and yogurt. The yogurt helps with the softer texture and fermentation and leaves a delicious tangy taste, making this bread a pure delight. Besides, the chole, I’ll also serve a bowl of lightly salted yogurt with it.
