Bhatura (also known as batoora, bhatoora, batura, or pathora) (Hindi: भटूरा, Punjabi: ਭਟੂਰਾ) is a fluffy deep-fried leavened sourdough bread originating from the Indian subcontinent.

[1] It is commonly served as a midday meal or a breakfast dish in northern and eastern India.

Bhatura resembles puri but is made with leavened dough.

[2] A typical recipe includes all-purpose flour (maida), dahi (yogurt), ghee or oil, and either yeast or baking powder.

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