Bhature are large fluffy deep fried Indian breads that are usually served with an accompaniment of chole or chickpeas cooked in a spicy masala. Made with refined flour, yogurt, baking powder and baking soda the dough is left to ferment well before being rolled into round or oval shaped discs and deep-fried.
Chhole Masala is a North Indian dish. It is all about boiled chickpeas, or kabuli chana, cooked in a rich, tangy gravy consisting of tomatoes, a little bit of onions, garlic, ginger, and a plethora of Indian spices sautéed or browned with the gravy. The chickpeas absorb the aromatic flavours of the spices in the gravy very well. The chickpeas maintain its shape but should be soft enough to melt in mouth.
