Soak chickpeas in water overnight.

Knead the dough for bhatura before preparing chole.

Prepare two types of dough: one with yeast and one with baking soda.

For the yeast dough, add 1.5 cups refined flour, 5 grams dry yeast soaked in water, salt, and oil or clarified butter.

Add soaked semolina to the flour for texture.

Apply oil on top of the dough to prevent it from drying out.

Let the yeast dough rest for 1.5 hours and the baking soda dough for 45 minutes.

Add soaked chickpeas into a pressure cooker with dry Indian gooseberry and baking soda.

Cook the chickpeas until tender in the pressure cooker.

Prepare the masala by adding black peppercorns, black cardamom, cloves, star anise, and fenugreek seeds to clarified butter in a cauldron.

Once the whole spices are aromatic, add coriander powder, asafoetida, and red degi chilli powder.

Remove the tea bag and dry gooseberries from the cooked chickpeas and drain excess water if overcooked.

Blend the spices and add them to the chickpeas along with some chickpea water.

Cook on low flame for 15-20 minutes to blend flavors.

Prepare small dough balls from the rested dough and apply oil on them, leaving aside for 15 minutes before rolling out.

Roll out the dough and fry in hot oil until puffed and golden.
