Best Easy Chole Bhature Breakfast Recipe

In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, 0.5 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp oil; mix gently, then add yogurt. Gradually pour in water and knead until a soft, smooth dough forms. Cover and let it rest for 1 hour at room temperature for lightness.

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a heavy pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 7 minutes for rich sweetness.

Stir in ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add chopped tomatoes, turmeric, coriander, cumin, red chili powder, remaining salt, and sauté on medium-high until tomatoes soften and oil separates.

Add chickpeas and 1 cup water to the pan. Simmer over low heat for 20-25 minutes, mashing some chickpeas for thick texture. Finish with garam masala and cook uncovered for 3 more minutes.

Divide dough into 8 balls; roll each into a 5-inch circle. Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (medium-high). Fry each bhatura until puffed and golden, about 1 minute per side, ensuring even browning. Drain on paper towels and serve hot alongside the chole.
