In a large bowl, combine the cassava flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the coconut milk and melted coconut oil to the dry mixture. Stir well to begin forming a dough.
Slowly add the warm water to the dough mixture, kneading it gently until you form a smooth and pliable dough. If the dough feels too dry, add a little more water, a tablespoon at a time.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a rough ball.
Heat one cup of coconut oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat for frying.
While the oil is heating, roll each dough ball out into a round disc, about 4-5 inches in diameter. You may use a dusting of cassava flour to prevent sticking.
Test the oil heat by dropping a tiny piece of dough into it. If it sizzles and rises to the top, the oil is ready.
Carefully slide one rolled-out dough disc into the hot oil. Fry each side for about 1-2 minutes or until the bhatura is golden brown and puffy.
Remove the fried bhatura with a slotted spoon and drain it on a paper towel-lined plate.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining rolled dough discs.
Serve the bhatura hot with your favorite Whole30 compliant curry or side dish.
