    Blogging Marathon #24: Day 1

    Theme: Cooking from Restaurant Menus

    Dish: Chole-Bhatura

    For this month's final week of Blogging marathon, I chose a very interesting theme, "Cooking from Restaurant Menus". Valli gave us quite a few menus to choose from and I chose "India House Vegetarian Restaurant". 

    There are way too many Indian restaurants in New Jersey that makes us too picky. Most of the restaurants are sub par and too expensive. All of the dishes taste the same with the same masalas and all the menus look the same too. There are probably only a handful of restaurants that we usually revisit while the rest are only one-timers. Moral of this story is I prefer going to non-Indian restaurants than Indian ones, mostly because I want to try and see what other cuisines have to offer and partly because going to an Indian restaurant costs more on the pocket with uninspiring dishes. 

    When we are at an Indian restaurant, I like to order dishes that I don't usually make at home, may be the house specialties or specials for the day. Also I stay clear of deep fried dishes, so bhaturas, koftas are out for me. So thanks to BM, I've tried 3 new dishes that I've never made at home and have only occasionally ordered at a restaurant.

    For day 1 under "Subah Ho Ya Shyam" section, I've ordered/ made "Chole-Batura". This is the first time I've made bhaturas at home and I had my mom help me with the dough and the frying, so officially my mom made them and I'm taking the credit 🙂 I added some whole-wheat pastry flour that I had to use up, to add some fiber to the bhaturas.

    Lets check out what my fellow marathoners have cooked up today for BM# 24.

      The platter looks inviting. I make the chole almost your way. I don't make fried breads that often and that too with all purpose flour. And so, bhatures are never made at my home too. I made luchis a couple of times though.

      my mom used to make this for my younger brother. And he would finish off the whole puri in one go. The excitement of seeing such a big puri itself is something to watch 🙂 The curry and the bature looks fantastic!
