CHOLE BHATURE

Chole bhature recipe With step by step photos – it is one of the most popular Punjabi recipe which is now liked almost all over India and even abroad. Chole stands for a spicy curry made with white chickpeas and Bhatura is fried leavened flat bread.

Chole bhature is a spicy, tasty and a heavy dish. I have eaten this dish at many places in Punjab and Delhi. Each restaurants or dhabas have their own flavors and taste in the chole. In some places it is very spicy, at other places it has tangy taste and the consistency of the curry also varies from slightly thick to semi-dry and dry.

This recipe of chole Has spicy flavors. This is my mom’s recipe of chole and unlike other versions of chole recipes posted on the blog, this one has a homely taste and flavor. It does not taste like the restaurant or dhaba versions but taste very good.

Even the bhature size and flavor varies from restaurants to restaurants. The bhature should ideally be less oily and should puff fully. They should ideally be eaten hot and fresh. If you parcel the bhature from a restaurant then you won’t get the real taste as they become limp and dense.

I always make the bhatura recipes that are already posted on the blog. I have not yet tried making any other version of bhatura as these work best for me always.
