CHOLE BHATURE I RESTAURANT STYLE CHOLE BHATURA I NORTH INDIAN BREAKFAST

Chole-Bhaura/Bhature is the most fabulous combination for breakfast or dinner, and why not even for lunch too. Its punjabi cuisine and it will be very tasty and filling breakfast. I have tried the bhature without yeast or curd. Though, I didn't have curd, so I have searched many sites to find out bhatura recipe without curd, but my search was failed, I couldn't get at my expectations. Then what else, I have tried my own style with finger crossed... Oh Yeah! Got superb result and it was awesome in taste and texture too. 

Bhature/Bhatura is never live without chole masala, isn't it? Yes, here is the chole masala of restaurant style. Its good spicy and aromatic with fresh spices. I am sure, you will like the combo much once you tasted it... I have already shared other version of chole masala. The chole masala will suits for poori, tortillas and potato poori varieties too.. Lets move on the recipe, and it will be quite long post and I missed deep frying the poori pictures, will upload it when prepare next time.. Sorry...
