Bhatura
Bhaturas are fried, leavened bread that are best consumed right away when still hot from the oven. Before the dough is shaped into larger circles and deep-fried, it needs to rise for up to five hours. The dough puffs out like a poori and goes great with the common North Indian cuisine chole (chickpea curry).
