  • Roast them. Add boiled chickpeas in wok.
  • Cook on low flame for next 15-20 minutes. Our chole are set to be served.

For bhature:

    Note : We can make bhature a from 100% wheat flour or all purpose flour . As we are trying to make healthy bhature so I m using 50% semolina and 50% all purpose flour

    • Take a high hipped platter . Add 1 cup semolina and 1 cup all all purpose flour . Mix it .
    • Add 1 cup curd. We are not us king baking soda or powderbecause it is again not healthy.
    • Add water as much as you need in kneading the dough.
    • knead the dough. It should be a semi soft dough. Shift dough in a bowl or any air right container.
    • Gently apply some water with brush or hands on dough. Cover it with lid and keep dough at any warm place for 5-7 hours for process of fermentation.
    • I keep it in my container of wheat flour to stay warm.
    • After 7 hours we will be using olive oil in frying bhature.
    • Keep olive in a frying pan on medium flame.
    • Take a roll . Dust the board with flour. Roll it into a bhatura. You can also make bhature by greasing your hands as that’s the traditional method of making bhature. You can watch that in video . Gently fry the  bhature until it get brown.
    • We are good to serve our bhature.

    We will take a large thali and place our chickpeas sabzi , bhature , curd and salad. Garnish it with green chilli, ginger and paneer.

        I think everything posted was very reasonable. However, consider this, what if you wrote a catchier title? I am not suggesting your information isn’t good, but what if you added a post title to possibly get folk’s attention? I mean BLOG_TITLE is a little vanilla. You should glance at Yahoo’s front page and see how they create article titles to grab people to open the links. You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to grab people interested about everything’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it would make your blog a little livelier.|
