Chole Bhature is one of the favorite dishes of Indians. Chole Bhatura is a spicy, tasty, and filling dish. I have eaten this dish at many places in Punjab and Delhi. Each restaurant or Dhaba (eateries on highways) have its own flavors and taste in the chickpea curry. In some places the curry is very spicy, at other places, it has a tangy taste and the consistency of the curry also varies from slightly thick to semi-dry and dry. All of us like having the chole Bhature but the test we get in the restaurant we don’t get it at home but here is an interesting recipe for you which make you remember about Delhi’s famous Chole Bhature.
