Indian food

Chole Bhature

Punjab's heavy breakfast: spiced chickpeas with a bhatura, a deep-fried bread that arrives inflated like a balloon and deflates while you watch.

How it's eaten

Tear the bhatura rather than cutting it, and expect to skip lunch.

Where to try it

Agra

Chandigarh

The Punjabi plate at its most unapologetic: two fried breads the size of a face and a bowl of chickpeas.
