A quintessential Punjabi dish and Delhi's favorite breakfast, chole bhature pairs a spicy chickpea curry with large, puffy deep-fried bread. The chole is simmered with a robust blend of spices including amchur (dried mango powder), pomegranate seeds, and tea leaves for a dark, rich gravy. The bhature, made from fermented dough, puff up into golden balloons that are perfect for scooping up the tangy, hearty curry.
