It is an unleavened bread--basically like chapati or roti, that is fried. When you fry it, the tapping action causes steam to rise in the bread, blowing it up into a spherical balloon shape. Bhatura, as you can see is a yeast-raised bread--the dough is more like naan, which is baked in a hot clay oven called a tandoor. When you fry the dough, it, too will puff up, but not as dramatically as pooris will. I should do a post on poori, but I haven't made it in a while. I shall have to rectify that before the baby is born! No, Peggy–Poori is different. It is an unleavened bread–basically like chapati or roti, that is fried.

The ever so talent Barbara blows me away once again with her take on Bhaturas. After years believing that the Bhatura was not something made for my kitchen rendezvous, she has actually convinced me that they might not be all that hard. One look at these babies of her&#8217;s and who needs a trip to an Indian restaurant! Can I come to your place for dinner sometime, Barb? [...] […] Aahh!!

Though, I learned a lot of my cooking by tasting Akbar's dishes, then going home and trying to recreate them, so, that is part of why I have such a strong North Indian stamp on my cooking. I will have to try Swagat when we visit next time. Thanks for the idea. Thanks, Debbie–I never ate at Mela, but we do miss Akbar something fierce.
