It is 2 o clock in the afternoon here in India and it is time for lunch. I just closed my shop and came up for lunch. My p.c. is still updating may be something wrong with it. If it does not complete its updating by the time I am back to the store, I may have to abort the installation. It can't take that long. Today we are vegetarian. We have got special vegetable curry made of big white grams we call them chhole. I like the dish very much. What do you have for your lunch, dinner?

White gram, chhole is popular in whole Indian, but cooking style is some what differ, Today on TV I watched how peoples of Punjab make it, they called it Peshawari chholey. Here we make it many time, and it is our favorite one. Here in North, Chhole Bhturey and Chhole Kulchey is very popular breakfast

@anil02 Vegetable oil and groundnut oil has replaced coconut oil here now. It was very difficult to change in initial period but then got accustomed to it.

Yes we prepared them today in Punjabi styled. Our cooking is different. We use coconut in all our curry dishes. I came to know about Chhole Bature when I went to Delhi for the first time with our Engineering college tour.
