the recipe of chole kulche is almost synonym to chole bhature which again hails from the same north indian cuisine. having said that matar ki chaat recipe is also similar to the famous bangalore chaat – masala puri recipe. in fact i find lot of similarities between these 2 recipes apart from the common white peas used in both recipes. both the recipes are served with freshly chopped onions and tomatoes as toppings with fine sev and chaat chutneys. but the spices added while preparing these curries are completely different and perhaps derives a totally different. in addition the masala puri is served with crushed puri as a base whereas chole kulche recipe does not contain it. lastly, matar kulcha can be easily served as both curry and chaat recipe with any choice of bread which makes it more versatile.

chole kulche recipefurthermore, some important considerations and tips for a perfect chatpata matar kulcha recipe. firstly, the white peas has to be soaked overnight or for a minimum of 8 hours so that they almost double in their size. alternatively you can soak in warm water which should cut down the soaking time by atleast 2-3 hours. secondly, the chole kulche recipe tastes good with the choice of kulcha’s like, aloo kulcha, paneer kulcha and plain kulcha. but it also tastes great with other types of bread like garlic naan, tandoori roti and rumali roti. lastly, the consistency of the curry has to be somewhat between thick to semi thick with peas not turning mushy.
