My Favourite-Chole Bhature


These are fluffy deep fried Indian breads served with chole which are chickepeas cooked in a spicy masala. Punjabi food is wholesome and full of rustic flavour.


The refined flour dough for the bhature needs to be left to ferment for a few hours before being rolled into oval shaped discs and deep-fried. Chole-bhature is one of those few things that are worth the calories!


This is an exquisite meal that you can usually find in north Indian roadside eateries called dhabas, or at Indian restaurants. This is actually a north Indian dish, usually found in roadside eateries.


We actually eat this once a monthicon

So yum-Right ?

Tips
  • A bhatura is not unlike a puri, except it's bigger and has some yogurt mixed into the dough. Bhaturas are also usually made with refined flour, like all purpose flour, for a crispier, flakier texture.
