About Our Chole Bhatura
Chole Bhatura is a beloved North Indian classic combining hearty spiced chickpea curry (chole) with freshly fried, pillowy bhatura bread. At Mumbai Bites, we soak our chickpeas overnight for perfect texture, then slow-simmer them in an onion-tomato masala layered with cumin, coriander, garam masala, amchur, and a hint of black cardamom for depth.
The bhatura—light, airy, and slightly tangy from a yogurt-enriched dough—puffs dramatically when fried and is served hot so you can tear, dip, and scoop every last bit of chole. Add sliced onions, pickled chili, or a squeeze of lemon to customize each bite. Comforting, filling, and fully vegetarian.
