A Step-By-Step Guide - Indian Breakfast Delight Chole Bhature At Home: For Bhature
Step 1 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

Step 2 - Add the yoghourt and oil to the flour mixture and mix well to form a crumbly texture.

Step 3 - Slowly add water, a little at a time, and knead the dough until it is smooth and pliable.

Step 4 - Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 2 hours.

Step 5 - Divide the dough into small balls and roll them out into circles of about 6-7 inches in diameter.

Step 6 - Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully slide in the rolled-out bhature and fry until they puff up and turn golden brown on both sides. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.

For Chole
Step 1 - If using dried chickpeas, soak them in water overnight or for at least 6 hours. Cook the soaked chickpeas in a pressure cooker with salt until they are soft and tender.

Step 2 - Heat oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and sauté until they start to splutter.

Step 3 - Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger to the skillet and cook until the onion is soft and translucent.

Step 4 - Stir in the tomato puree, green chilies, ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook for a few minutes until the spices are fragrant and the tomato puree thickens.

Step 5 - Add the cooked chickpeas to the skillet along with some water (if needed) and simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld together.

Step 6 - Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve hot with the fried bhature and lemon wedges on the side.
