Chole Bhature

Instructions

1. In a pressure cooker, heat 1 tbsp of oil and add cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
2. Add grated ginger, minced garlic, and slit green chili. Sauté for a minute.
3. Add the pureed tomato, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook until the oil separates.
4. Add soaked chickpeas and 2 cups of water. Pressure cook for 3-4 whistles or until chickpeas are soft.
5. Once cooked, mash some chickpeas for a thicker consistency and add garam masala. Simmer for 5 minutes.
6. In a bowl, mix wheat flour, yogurt, baking powder, and salt. Knead into a soft dough, adding water as needed. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
7. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll into circles. Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the rolled dough until puffed and golden brown.
8. Serve hot chole with bhature, garnished with onions and coriander.

Tips

• For softer bhature, use warm water while kneading the dough.
• Adjust spices according to your taste preference.
