Chole Kulche is a popular North Indian street food, especially loved across Delhi and Punjab. The dish pairs spicy and tangy white matar chole with soft, fluffy kulchas cooked on a tawa. The chole is seasoned with amchoor, roasted cumin, and chaat masala for that unmistakable street-style punch. When paired with buttery kulchas sprinkled with kalonji and coriander, the result is a wholesome meal that reflects the vibrant flavours of India’s food culture.
Soak white matar for an hour, then boil with a pinch of salt until soft and mashable. Allow to cool slightly before preparing the masala mix.
