There are many different types of Bhatura, each with its own unique flavour. For example, there is the usual plain Bhatura, Paneer Bhatura, Gobhi Bhatura, Aloo Bhatura, etc. Out of all these, my personal favourite is the Paneer Bhatura.

Aloo bhatura

There are many types of Bhatura, but the most popular is Aloo Bhatura. It is made with boiled potatoes, flour, baking powder, oil and salt. First, the potatoes are boiled and mashed. 

Then, the flour, baking powder, oil and salt are mixed in. The potato mixture is then kneaded into a dough. The dough is then rolled out into a large circle and cut into small pieces. These pieces are then deep-fried in hot oil until they are golden brown.
