To Make Bhature :Soak suji in 1/2 cup water for 15 - 20 minutes to make it soft. Then in a mixing bowl add all the ingredients under the bhature section along with soaked suji and mix well. Then little by little add water and knead a soft dough. Now take a fresh bowl and transfer the dough in it and apply a thin layer of refined oil on the dough. Cover the bowl with a cling sheet and keep it aside for fermentation for 2 - 3 hrs in a warm place. Once it is ready it will be double in size.

Now remove the cling sheet and press the dough in the center to remove all the excess air and knead again. To make the bhature, heat the oil and take a small ball of the dough and roll like puri but this needs to be kept thicker than poori. Fry like poori till both sides are golden brown. Serve with chole and mix pickle.

For chole: In a pan add oil, bay leaf, cinnamon, cumin seeds, cloves, whole pepper corns, green and black cardamom. After it gets brown add chopped onions and saute it. After sauteing add chopped ginger and garlic.

Then add turmeric, chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, asafoetida, salt and fry well. For de glazing the pan add little water. Now add the chole (soaked overnight and pressure cooked) to the masala.

After stirring well add tomatoes, little sugar and salt to the chole (chickpeas) Now add ajwain, chopped green chilies and water for the base. To get the colour in the chole, add a tea bag to the masala.

Simmer the chole gently for an hour and cover it. Add lime juice and a dollop of butter to it. Garnish the chole with coriander and butter. Serve the chole hot with bhaturas.
