HI,

You can add boiled potatos to the batura too… It tastes good too..

Shilpa, I have never been able to cook the chole to required softness. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I soak it overnight in plenty of water, then cook it in a cooker with turmeric and salt for a good 30 mins on high flame, the cooker whistling away. Result: the chole breaks, but the pieces are still hard. I dont like to use soda. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Anjali

Shilpa: Try with a new batch of chickpeas, sometimes old beans take a long time to cook.

Hi, I was searching for this content for quite sometime. Glad to see it. One thing that I found missing was some amount of stuff usually known as pitthi (made of daal and few other ingredients) that need to be stuffed in Bhaturey. I am not sure about this stuffing and its preparation. Will appreciate if I could hear something on this.

Hi Shilpa, this turned out awesome! However, I had to add more yogurt to knead the dough.. almost upped it to 2/3 cup.

Hi Shilpa,
should the dough be hard like puri dough….or it should be soft like chapathi dough…?????

Shilpa: Sowmya, make it like puri dough.
