Delhiwallahs have got a special place for Chole Bhature in their hearts. Just thinking about a hot piping plate of Chole Bhature and chilled Lassi is enough to make your mouth water and heart craving for some yummy Chole Bhature.

When monsoons come knocking, we Indians indulge in food to enjoy the season. And there's nothing that can match the joy a plate of spicy Chole (chickpeas) brings when it's served with hot and puffed Bhaturas. This dish is known to be served as a heavy-happy breakfast. Especially in New Delhi, this Punjabi dish is famous throughout North India. The dish was invented in Delhi in 1940.

This Punjabi delicacy has a die-hard fan following. Wondering why? Well, the reasons are well-rooted from India's Rasoi Ghar (kitchen).

For flavourful Chole, the boiled chickpeas are cooked with a tantalising mixture of Indian spices that include cumin, coriander and anardana (which gives it a tart flavour) in a mix of tomato and onion gravy. Chole is rightly paired with stuffed, puffy, deep-fried Bhaturas that are made after the dough is fermented.

Gurpreet Singh, a culinary expert and food blogger said, “It can be eaten whenever you want to, Chole Bhature is mostly eaten in the morning when Bhature is filled with potatoes or paneer making it a heavy and nutritious breakfast.”
