<\/p>\n

1) Bread type<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2) Texture and taste<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Chole puri –<\/strong> Chole puri has a crispy and flaky texture on the outside with layers that separate when you fry them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3) Preparation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Chole puri –<\/strong> Chole puri dough is prepared by mixing whole wheat flour, water, and a pinch of salt and kneading them into a smooth dough.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then you divide the dough into small portions and roll them into circles. After that, you deep fry them in hot oil until they turn golden brown and puffed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Chole bhatura –<\/strong> Chole bhatura <\/a><\/b>dough is prepared using all-purpose flour, a little oil, yogurt, baking powder, and sometimes semolina (sooji).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All the ingredients are kneaded together and left to ferment. Ferment it for a few hours or overnight.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After the fermentation process, divide the dough into potions and make large circles out of these portions. Then deep-fry them until you see them have a golden brown colour.<\/p>\n
