Paneer Bhatura – Super Soft and Fluffy

Some dishes are like perfect couples or you can say married to each other, they are incomplete without their partner like Pav and Bhaji, Makkai ki Roti and Sarso ka Saag, Dahi with Bhalle like wise Bhatura with Chole.. And especially if they are paneer stuffed Bhatura, they have to be accompanied with chatpate punjabi chole..

These stuffed bhatura are so soft and fluffly, just melt in your mouth. If you have some leftover they are perfect to be eaten along with hot chai.. Kid’s just rolled them and ate them. Even after 4 hours they were soft and nice.. It’s very important for the bhature for the soft and needs to puff up (look at the ones in the picture)..

As my earlier post about chole says all about my husbands love for this dish, I had to made a perfect match for those punjabi chole. They are very easy to make, if few things are kept in mind. So let’s not waste time and Get Set Cooking..

Thanks for stopping by and hope you like this dish.. Do leave a feedback!!

Make sure to knead the dough properly using hot water. Hot water always helps to make soft dough and knead it till it’s smooth and comes together well. Cover with a damp tea towel and keep it aside in a warm place for at least an hour or till the dough rises to double.

Best place for me is inside the closed oven, as it’s always warm there.

Once the dough has risen, knead it down again and make small lemon size balls.

Mix the ingredients for the filling, you can grate or mash your paneer and yes feel free to add more ingredients of your choice like green chillies..

Just the way we do for paratha, roll out small circle and then put the filling in close it from top and again roll it out.

The Bhatura sizes and shapes is totally a matter of preference. I like then round and small as they are easy and light. But you can make bigger rounds or like some people roll out oval shape. But make sure to roll it out evenly and not breaking them.

Heat enough oil in a kadhai/pan and make sure it very hot, once it reaches the right temperature; which you can test by putting a small amount of dough, if it comes up immediately is ready to cook. Lower the flames and slide the bhatura in.

Using the slotted spoon try pressing the bhatura gently this will help the bhatura to puff up.

Once it’s brown from one side flip it over and again repeat the process and cook.

Remove on paper towel for excess oil to be absorbed.

Serve it hot with Chole!!
