Chole Bhature is an emotion. The crispy and fluffy bhaturas combined with spicy and tangy chole (chickpea curry) cause a flavoursome explosion in your mouth. Not just Indians, but people coming from every part of the world love the iconic combo. Australian chef Sarah Todd echoes a similar sentiment. After landing in Delhi a few days back, she wanted to find out whether the North Indian delicacy could curb her hunger pangs. Well, she was not disappointed. Sarah shared a video on Instagram where she was seen trying a plate of chole bhature at the famous Sita Ram Diwan Chand restaurant. The clip begins with Sarah tearing off a bhatura, dipping it in the chole and putting it in her mouth. Her reaction was priceless. “Wow. That is so good. Absolutely delicious” says Sarah before praising the texture of the bhaturas.
She also took active note of how they were being made, highlighting the flavourful fillings. Sarah enjoyed the meal with green chutney and green chillies. Taking a bite of amla, she said, “It really goes well with the dish.” Once she was done, the chef admitted that she was “officially satisfied (and) a happy girl”. Sarah wrapped up her gastronomical adventure by gulping down an entire glass of lassi. The sweet way to end a hearty meal indeed. Don't know about you, but Sarah completely agrees with us.
