About Chole With Lachha Paratha

Sometimes, the best culinary inspiration comes from unexpected journeys. While passing through a highway, hunger led us to a roadside dhaba, where we savored a plate of chole that left a lasting impression. The robust flavors and comforting spices lingered with me long after the meal.
Motivated by that delicious experience, I recreated the same chole at home, pairing it with flaky lachha parathas. The hearty Kabuli channa, aromatic chole masala, tangy dry mango powder, and a hint of red chili create a symphony of flavors reminiscent of authentic street food, perfect for a satisfying brunch or a special treat anytime.

Recipe Notes

This recipe can be served with bhature/ paratha/ roti along with pickle or salad.

Additional Tips

  • For extra depth of flavor, sauté the onion and garlic pastes until deeply golden and caramelized before adding the spices—this mimics the slow-cooked taste found in traditional dhaba-style chole.
  • If you prefer a thicker, restaurant-style gravy, mash a small portion of the cooked channa with the back of a spoon and let it simmer for a few extra minutes.
  • To achieve ultra-flaky lachha parathas, let the rolled dough rest for at least 15 minutes after layering and before the final rolling—this helps the layers separate beautifully when cooked.
  • Garnish the chole with thinly sliced onions tossed in a dash of lemon juice and chopped fresh coriander for a street-food inspired presentation and added crunch.
