Instant Bhature Recipe for Your Chole Bhature Feast

This instant bhatura recipe is quick, easy and absolutely lip-smacking with a bowl of spicy of chana masala. One of the most popular Indian breakfast dishes, Chole Bhature is often a weekend indulgence for many North Indian foodies. Chole or White Chickpeas cooked with an array of Indian spices gets served with Bhaturey or unleavened Indian flatbread that has been deep-fried in any neutral oil.

The dough for Bhature is primarily made with all-purpose flour, yogurt and a leavening agent. It is allowed to ferment after kneading and before dividing into smaller portions for making the bhaturey.

Since my house is more of a ‘Cornflakes & Oats’ kind of family which prefers lighter breakfast options. At best, we would have sandwich as an indulgence when we would have ample time in our hand. So, dishes like Chole Bhature are often reserved for major meals of the day like lunch or dinner.

Previously, I have shared the recipe of No-Onion, No-Garlic Punjabi Chole Recipe here. You can check it out following the link. This Chana Masala recipe is completely Vegan and Gluten-free. And, in terms of Indian diet preferences, it is a Jain Chole Masala recipe or Bengali Niramish Kabuli Cholar recipe.

Among the variety of Indian flatbread, bhature often stand out from the rest because it is made with refined flour and yogurt. As a result, it acquires a slightly tangy taste. Ideally, the dough is allowed to ferment for a couple of hours so that it develops some air into it. This gives the deep-fried breads a crunch to them.
