The story behind
You haven't truly lived until you've torn into a fresh, hot bhatura and scooped up a huge bite of spicy chole. It’s a classic from North India that’s usually eaten for breakfast, but honestly, it’s a winner at any time of day. I love making this when friends come over because it feels like a party. Pair it with a cold yogurt drink or a fresh lemonade. It's best enjoyed when you have nowhere to be and can just dive into the flavors.
