c. Heat oil in a separate pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Then, add the finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.

d. Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Cook for a couple of minutes until the raw smell disappears.

e. Now, add the tomato puree, chole masala powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook the masala mixture until the oil separates from the sides.

f. Add the cooked chickpeas to the masala mixture and mix well. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend together.

Bhature Preparation :

a. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, semolina, yogurt, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

b. Gradually add water and knead the mixture to form a soft and pliable dough. Add water as needed to achieve the desired consistency.

c. Once the dough is ready, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 2 hours.

d. After resting, divide the dough into small portions and roll them into circular or oval-shaped discs.

e. Heat oil in a deep pan for frying. The oil should be moderately hot.

f. Carefully slide one bhatura into the hot oil and gently press it with a slotted spoon. This will help it puff up.

g. Fry until the bhatura is golden brown on both sides. Remove it from the oil and drain excess oil using a kitchen towel.

h. Repeat the frying process for the remaining bhaturas.


Serve the hot and spicy chole with the crispy bhature. You can garnish the chole with a sprinkle of fresh coriander leaves and serve them with pickles, onions, and a squeeze of lemon juice for added flavor. Enjoy your homemade Punjabi-style Chole Bhature!
