Instant Bread Bhatura | How to Make Instant Bhatura

Holi, the Indian Festival of Color is around the corner and these Instant Bread Bhatura / Instant Bhatura are on top of my Holi Party meal plan.

Bhatura is an extremely popular Indian bread which is usually served with chole, you can Never and I mean Never miss the ‘Chole – Bhature‘ mention in any Indian Restaurants.

Whether India or Internationally, it’s extremely popular because of its gigantic puffed shape and one bite into you, you become a Lover of them!

Ingredients for Bhatura vs Instant Bread Bhatura

Bhatura: the traditional Bhatura or Punjabi Bhatura (as it’s popularly known), is made using flour, yeast, milk/yogurt, baking soda, sugar and salt.

Once the dough is made, it needs to be poofed for a minimum of 8+hours (for that fluffy texture).

Instant Bread Bhatura: my version requires no poofing or even yeast. Just plain flour, bread slices (not bread crumbs), yogurt, salt and baking soda.

Process of Making Instant Bread Bhatura or Instant Bhatura

Once you have these simple ingredients (which are present in most houses), your Instant bread bhatura or Instant bhatura is only 15-20 minutes away.

Simply make the dough and roll each dough ball into oval discs (any shape is fine).

Then you deep fry or shallow fry them depending on your choice.

And that’s it, your Crispy, Flakey and Puffed Golden Instant Bhatura is ready to devour.
