Dhaba style "Chhole bhature" Recipe

Recipe Type: Breakfast | Recipe Cuisine: Indian
Preparation Time: 10 mins | Cooking time: 40-50 mins  | serves:2-3

In this recipe, I had used kabuli channa which is larger than other variety of chickpeas. I prefer it because due to its large size it looks more tempting and nutritious. Chhola prepared by this variety of chickpeas taste much better. So you should also prefer big ones to make this recipe. The only thing you keep in mind is after boiling, chickpeas should be completely cooked.

Now let’s prepare together this tasty recipe :-)
