The video begins by showing a large utensil filled with boiled chickpeas. A worker, using his bare foot to hold down the edge of the container, carefully strains the excess water, pouring it into a separate container. Once the water is drained, the chickpeas are marinated with a secret mix of spices and fried in oil, transforming them into the perfect chole.
In another part of the kitchen, a worker is seen mixing dough in a massive container. The dough is so abundant that it stocks up to his elbows as he kneads it with his bare hands. The dough is then divided into small balls and lined up neatly on trays. The next step sees these dough balls rolled out and deep-fried to perfection, creating soft, pillowy bhatures that are golden brown on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
Finally, the dish is served with a side of achaar (pickle). "Most Famous Chole Bhature of Delhi," the caption of the video read.
