• If using yeast, activate it by dissolving it in warm water with a pinch of sugar before adding it to the dough.
• To make the bhatura extra fluffy, you can add a small amount of baking soda to the dough.

Storage and Serving

• Bhatura is best served immediately after frying to enjoy its crispy texture.
• If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• Reheat the bhatura in a preheated oven or on a tawa (griddle) before serving.
