Always a favourite. Is paneer a standard part of the bhatura or a variant?

Thanks Mr. Mithal for visiting and writing on my food blog post. Regarding to your question Paneer is variant for Bhatura. It gives soft creamy flavour to Bhatura.

Thanks for liking my blog post & letting me find your blog to follow. Love India food & having left USA (currently in Mexico) lacking for any local restaurants to visit. Be back to check out your recipes. Been cooking for over 50 years, so this looks like a great place to wander through. Mostly vegan, love curries! Thanks again!
