About this dish

Chole bhature is a dish pairing chickpea curry with bhatura, a deep-fried flatbread. It is commonly eaten as a breakfast or street food. Chickpea curry dates back to the cuisine of the Mughal Empire, but the origin of chole bhature is debated, with some sources attributing its origin to Punjab. It spread to Delhi after the partition of India, where it is a popular dish. By the 2010s, it had become a popular fast food across India. The Indo-Trinidadian dish doubles is believed by some to be an adaptation of chole bhature.
