Chole bhature (Hindi: छोले भटूरे, Punjabi: ਛੋਲੇ ਭਟੂਰੇ) is a combination of chole (spicy chick peas) and fried bread called bhatoora (made of maida flour).
Chole bhature are served with onions and achaar.
It is mainly eaten in north India.
Bhatoora or Bhatura or Batoora, is a soft and fluffy deep-fried bread from the North India, and is often eaten with chickpea curry.
A typical recipe includes white flour (maida), yogurt, ghee or oil, and yeast. Once kneaded well, the dough
is left to rise, and then small balls of it are either hand rolled or flattened using a rolling pin. Then the bread is deep fried until they puff up into a lightly browned soft fluffy bread, which is elastic and chewy.
