The true soul of this shop lies in its Chole (chickpeas). Soaked overnight and boiled in a large brass vessel, these chickpeas—simmered over a slow flame with dried pomegranate seeds (anardana), dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi), and a blend of special spices—acquire a deep, magnificent hue and a rich, delectable flavor. A garnish of ginger slivers, chopped green chilies, and fresh coriander leaves atop the Chole not only enhances its taste but also makes the dish visually stunning.
Presentation of the Platter
An excellent Chole-Bhature platter consists of more than just the main dish; the accompaniments served alongside it also play a crucial role: A sweet-and-sour, zesty pickle made from carrots, chilies, or mangoes. Thinly sliced onion rings—often soaked in vinegar—sprinkled with chaat masala.
A refreshing chutney made from mint and coriander, which serves to balance the flavors. In many places, spicy fried potatoes are also served alongside the Chole.
