Chhole Kulche

Chhole Kulche is a popular North Indian dish that consists of spicy chickpea curry (chhole) served with soft and fluffy Indian bread called kulcha.

The chickpea curry, known as Chhole, is made by cooking boiled chickpeas in a tangy and spicy tomato-based gravy. It is seasoned with a blend of aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala, among others.
