The Quintessential Chole Bhature

#cookpadindia The quintessential Chole Bhature! Who doesn't like them. A tasty option which is a popular Breakfast item in our Country. These Bhaturas are as super soft and fluffy as those in a restaurant. Infact these are much more healthier too. Roll them with light hands and you will end up with fluffy puffed up Bhaturas or Puris. Made alongside Chole, this is a treat to our tastebuds. The more the better, hence these are to be made in abundance and enjoyed on any day. Be it a Lunch or a Dinner, these are perfect for any family meals apart from Breakfast. My family enjoys it for any meal. That's the charm of this popular dish.
