Chole Bhature, Chole Parantha or Chole Naan…. the name evokes an involuntary yummm, doesn’t it? Piping hot Chole with a squeeze of lime and onion slices, sometimes this is all that you need to satisy the craving for lip-smackingly spicy food. From the lanes and by-lanes of the North and Punjab, this dish has traveled towards the West in India and made its place amongst the very favourites of the masses here in Mumbai too. Full of proteins, this is a never-fail recipe, especially when you have fussy kids at home! Posted here are Chole served with mini Bhaturas in some pictures, as well as Pudina Paranthas in the others.

I believe that food should look as good as it tastes, and vice-versa. Maybe this is because I am an artist and an advertising professional too! But my first brush ...
