Bhatura chole (Hindi: छोले भटूरे, Punjabi: ਛੋਲੇ ਭਟੂਰੇ), is a combination of chana masala (spicy chick peas) and fried bread called bhatoora (made of maida flour) from India.^[1]

Serving methods

It is usually eaten as breakfast, sometimes accompanied with lassi. Chole bhatura is served with onions, carrot pickle, green chutney and achaar. Bhatura chole is popular around north-west India.

Variations

There are different varieties of bhatura available such as aloo bhatura (bhatura filled with boiled potato), paneer bhatura (bhatura filled with cottage cheese) etc. These breads are served with chick peas cooked in a gravy made of tomotoes, onions, garlic and garam masala (a spice mix). Sometimes, this chick pea preparation is also served with kulcha (type of Indian flat bread), naan or chawal (rice).
