Kulche Chole



           Everyone was giving two of us very weird look because at a very beautiful and cheap shopping place instead of shopping me and my friend were hoping on the food stalls on my collage trip to Rajasthan. But when we found a man who had fix a huge brass pot to his bicycle and was roasting some kind of flat bread, we couldn't hold ourselves. I remember we had 6 plates of chole Kulche. I bought 2 plates and forcefully tell everyone to have it. That night we reached our hotel 2 hours late because after having a bite everyone was busy enjoying this simple yet flavourful street food.
        
           Chole kulche is most popular breakfast or snack dish in Northern India. Especially in Delhi and Punjab. It is so heavy that this can be a meal as well. You will not find those hot beauty out of north India.

          Kulcha is a type of leavened bread eaten in India and Pakistan, made from maida (All purpose flour). It is particularly popular in India and Pakistan, and is usually eaten with chole. Chole is used are yellow dried peas or chickpeas or combination of both, soaked overnight then boild to mushy texture. Then they mix with chopped onions, tomatoes, cilantro, green chilli and spices like red chilli powder, Coriander seed powder, cumin seeds powder, amchur powder (dried mango powder) salt and at the end they squeeze fresh lemon that takes this dish to next lavel. Then they roast kulcha on iron griddle with lots of butter. 

          Kulcha is a typical Punjabi recipe. Amritsar, a city in Punjab is famous for its Amritsari kulchas or Amritsari naan. This kulchas are made 'without yeast' and after roasting it is rubbed with 'butter or ghee'. Kulchas are made with Cilantro or kasuri methi.

            Many Indian or pakistani restaurants serve kulcha but may be not chole. I have never seen chole kulche in any restaurant just kulche are the part of menu. The chole made with Chickpeas are not the chole for this dish. Chole is a indian curry as well eaten with puri or naan or rice.

           So if you get a chance to taste chole then don't miss it. You will love this soft kulche with flavourful chole. Or if you want to make it at home then do try it. Follow Nishamadhulika on You tube for the perfect recipe.

             Happy eating foodies!!! 😊

Varan Fal

papad               This lockdown blessed me a long stay at my hometown. Beautiful childhood memories, simple homemade food and long chat with neighbours who are family now! My neighbour Aunt cooks amazing food. When I was child I used to play knowingly in front of her house every evening hoping she would call me inside and feed me that aromatic, mouthwatering dish whatever she has made for dinner. And this trick worked always.. 😉                Varan fal is one of the comfort dish I always adore. This is something special because every house has it's own version of Varan fal. Today my Aunt made varan fal for me, so how can I forgot this dish to share with you!              Basic preparations are same in each recipe, just spices or the way of making is varies. My Aunt makes it with mix lentils like toor dal (pigeon pea), chana dal ( Split chickpea), moong dal ( yell...

Crispy Millet bhakri with brinjal curry.

             Summer is round the corner and this menu poped up in my mind. This is one of the special menu for me. Dharwadi bhakri, kala masla vangi bhaji, kairichi chatni. My neighbour auntie introduced this lip smacking crunchy flatbread to me. This flatbread is called Dharwadi bhakri, means crunchi millet flatbread which belongs to Bidar. Maharashtra and Karnataka border is called Bidar.                    Millet flatbreads are popular accross India. But this dharwadi bhakri is little different as it can be stored for months. Usually me & my daughter like this with special peanut chutney made in mortar and pestle with perticular type of peanuts called Solapuri peanut.                   Vangyachi bhaji is brinjal curry made with special spices paste which is dark in colour that's why it is called kala masala. Kala means black. Dry cocon...
