Chhole Bhaturey




A combination of "chhole" (spicy chick peas) and fried breads called "bhatoora" (made of maida flour). It is mainly eaten in North India and along with "chhole" seems to be have originated in Punjab.

The "bhatoora" is usually quite large in size. If you are a heavy eater, 2 of those will fill you up entirely. Just to give you an idea -



It is a street food sold by vendors and is commonly eaten for breakfast. Chole bhature are very popular in major urban cities.

It is a heavy breakfast which is generally accompanied with "lassi". There are different varieties of "bhature" available in the market such as "aloo bhatura" (bhatura filled with boiled potato), "paneer bhatura" (bhatura filled with cottage cheese) etc. Chhole bhature are served with onions and "achar" (pickles). This dish is very popular among students at various campuses across India.
