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.^[1] Paired with chickpea curry (called chole or channe), it forms a traditional dish called chole bhature.

This bread is like the puri bread but is made with leavened dough.^[2]
