India's Love Affair With Chole Bhature: 5 Best Places To Satiate Your Cravings

If there’s one food that every north Indian across the world can bond on, it has to be chole bhature. Of course, there are more, but the love for this savoury, lip-smacking dish is unmatched. An out and out Punjabi delicacy, a plate of chole bhature with a tall glass of lassi, is quite a staple in the region of Punjab and Amritsar. But the love has spread to the whole of north India and even other parts of the world. A tantalising mix of earthy Indian spices, laced well with boiled chickpeas in a hearty blend of tomatoes and onions, chole (chickpeas) goes best with puffy, stuffed bhaturas.
