Chole Masala are two words that will always make you smile if you love eating Punjabi food. Famous from the streets of Amritsar and across Punjab and Delhi, this chickpea curry is a versatile dish and can be had for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The best way to eat chole is with nice fluffy ‘bhature’ – a marriage that was definitely made in heaven! This dhaba-style dish also makes for a perfectly filling lunch when served with some hot steamed rice. For a Chole Masala Twist, top it with small pieces of paneer cubes right before serving.
