Chole bhature: puffed fried bread with chickpea curry
A typical Chole Bhature. Each restaurant makes its own version.

About Chole Bhature

Chole bhature pairs spicy Punjabi chickpea curry with bhatura, a large, puffy fried bread made from leavened dough. It is a popular weekend breakfast in Delhi and Punjab.

Regional versions

The chole is often dark and tangy, cooked with tea leaves and dried pomegranate seeds. Some places stuff the bhatura with paneer, and Amritsari versions come with a pickled onion salad.

What to order with it

Order a sweet lassi to balance the spice. It is filling, so it is usually a meal on its own.

How this list is made

We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.

Missing a place, a dish or a closure? Tell us and we will fix it.
