🇮🇳 India recipe
Chole Bhature
Chole bhature is one of Punjab's most celebratory dishes, combining a deeply spiced, tangy chickpea curry (chole) with puffy, golden deep-fried bread (bhature). Popular across North India as both a festive meal and beloved street food, this dish achieves its distinctive dark color and complex flavor from a special blend of spices including tea-steeped cooking liquid and amchur.
