Chole Bhature
Chole Bhature is a classic North Indian dish that is loved by people of all ages. It is a combination of two dishes, chole and bhature. Chole is a spicy chickpea curry, while bhature is a fried bread made from whole wheat flour. The two dishes are served together with a side of green chutney and onion salad.
The origins of chole bhature are not entirely clear, but it is believed to have originated in the Punjab region of India. The dish is said to have been created by a street vendor who was looking for a way to make a filling and affordable meal for his customers. The first recorded recipe for chole bhature appeared in a cookbook in 1964. Since then, the dish has become a staple of North Indian cuisine and is now enjoyed by people all over the world.
