YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Kawal Kishore Saluja and his family run Chache Di Hatti or “uncle's corner shop”, a hole-in-the-wall eatery in New Delhi, India. On the menu is one single dish -- Chole Bhature.

Chole Bhature is a common breakfast option in north India consisting of fried sourdough flatbread (bhature) with chickpea curry (chole). What sets apart Chache Di Hatti, is their secret spice mix for the chickpea curry, a recipe handed down to Kawal Kishore by his father.

The eatery has been serving Chole Bhature since 1957 from just that one location and Kawal Chacha (uncle) is in no hurry to make any changes! If you are in New Delhi, and want to know what a heady Dilli ka nashta (Delhi's breakfast) tastes like, do go over to Chache Di Hatti. Be prepared for the long queue, and the most amazing taste!
