Chole bhatura recipe / Chole bhature recipe with step by step pics and a short YouTube video. It is the most famous protein packed gravy, made with white chickpeas, onion – tomato base and tempered with some Indian spices. It is always paired with bhatura for lunch or dinner in restaurants, but it goes well with our regular poori, chapati, phulka, aloo paratha etc… Even it can be had with plain basmati rice, veg biryani or hyderabadi dum biriyani too and the list is endless. It can be made within 1/2 an hour if you have the cooked chole in hand. Ok, try this gravy for this weekend and make it a special one….

Happy Ramadan / Eid Mubarak to all the readers who are celebrating.

    Notes

    Tips for Chole Bhature Recipe

    1. Soaking the chole for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight is a must for easy cooking.
    2. If you have forgotten to soak the chole, then pour very hot water over it and set aside for 4 hours. Then other steps are the same.
    3. Ensure the chole is pressure-cooked properly and it is soft.
    4. the addition of baking soda when cooking chole is optional, but it lends softness to the chole.
    5. For a quick version, canned chickpeas can be used. Drain the water in it and use, no pressure cooking is needed. But this chole bhatura recipe tastes better with freshly cooked chickpeas.
    6. Also don't add cooking soda more than mentioned, as it is not good for health.
    7. For more taste, ghee or butter can be used for tempering the spices for this chole bhature recipe.
    8. Even little-mashed chickpeas can be added at last, to get more volume and thickness in the gravy.
    9. Instead of coriander leaves, little kasuri methi leaves can be added at last for more flavour.
    10. This same gravy can be used as a base to prepare rajma curry, paneer butter masala or even kadai paneer.
