Chole bhature pairs spicy chickpea curry with puffed, deep-fried bread and usually comes with pickle, onion, and sometimes lassi. It is filling, rich, and best eaten fresh when the bhature are hot and inflated. Delhi and Punjab are the best-known regions for the dish, though it appears across North Indian restaurants throughout the country.
