Instructions

1
Make bhatura dough: combine flour, yogurt, baking soda, 1 teaspoon oil, and salt. Knead with warm water until a smooth, soft dough forms. Cover and rest 1 hour.
2
Cook chole: heat oil, cook onions for 12 minutes until deeply golden. Add garlic, ginger, chole masala, anardana, cumin, and chili powder. Cook 3 minutes. Add chickpeas, tamarind paste, and 1 cup water. Simmer 20 minutes until thick and very flavorful. Mash some chickpeas for body.
3
Divide bhatura dough into 6–8 balls. Roll each into a 6-inch oval. Heat oil to 375°F. Slide one bhatura into the hot oil. Use the back of a spoon to gently press it down. It should puff up within 30 seconds. Flip and fry 1 more minute until golden. Serve hot bhatura with chole, sliced raw onion, and lemon.
