Bhatura is a fluffy, deep-fried bread originating from North Indian cuisine, often paired with spicy chickpea curry known as chole. Made from refined wheat flour (maida), it typically includes ingredients like yogurt, ghee, or oil to create a soft dough that is left to ferment before frying. Bhatura is celebrated for its rich, indulgent texture but is considered a heavier dish due to its preparation method and high fat content. While it does provide energy and contains some protein, its refined flour base and frying process make it less nutrient-dense compared to whole-grain alternatives. Moderation is key, as overconsumption can lead to excessive calorie and fat intake. Bhatura is best enjoyed as part of a balanced meal, complemented by fiber-rich chickpeas and fresh vegetables for a more wholesome experience.
