Chole Bhature is one of the most beloved breakfast dishes in North Indian cuisine, and at The Virsa Mahal,
we've perfected this classic combination to showcase the authentic flavors of Punjab. We begin with premium
chickpeas (kabuli chana) that are soaked overnight and pressure-cooked until perfectly tender. The chole is
then cooked in a rich, aromatic gravy made with fresh onions, tomatoes, ginger-garlic paste, and a special
blend of traditional spices including cumin, coriander, turmeric, red chili powder, and our signature chole
masala. A unique touch is the addition of tea bags during cooking, which gives the chole its characteristic
dark color and enhances the flavor.
The bhature, our fluffy deep-fried bread, is made fresh daily using all-purpose flour, yogurt, and a touch
of baking powder. The dough is kneaded to the perfect consistency, rolled out into circles, and deep-fried
until golden and beautifully puffed. Each bhature is light, airy, and crispy on the outside while remaining
soft and tender inside. The combination of the spicy, tangy chole with the warm, fluffy bhature creates a
perfect harmony of flavors and textures. We serve our Chole Bhature with fresh sliced onions, tangy pickles,
and sometimes a side of green chutney. Since opening in August 2025, our Chole Bhature has become a favorite
among breakfast lovers, offering a hearty and satisfying start to the day.
