Chole Bhature being the life line of Delhi like Vada Pav being of Mumbai. It is a dish that can be found in almost every nook & corner of the city & almost any sweet shop. It is a Breakfast item for most as its quite heavy but is eaten all day long & served by eatries all day. Today we will talk about a place that has its roots in Delhi since 1952. Bille Di Hatti located in Kamla Nagar is selling Chole Bhature, many other savoury snacks & sweets. The place is like a old nashta shop we find in many cities. They have ordinary seating arrangement don't expect much. I tried their Chole Bhature & a Sweet glass of Lassi. The chole here were small in size & were not gravy based more of a tarri wale chole. The bhature were fluffy & because of deep frying in oil we can't complain about they being a little oily. In taste the chole had a balanced taste not too much spice or tanginess just a subtle taste. The mixture of chutney , pickle & onion provided with it had some unique taste & went perfectly well with chole bhature. The lasssi was really nice as it was blend fresh, was thick & finally garnished with a thick layer of cream on it. If you plan on eating here you must reach the shop between 9 to 2 as they run out of most the items or sometimes all of them. Total...
Read moreI had ordered aloo samosas for 15 rupees. Though this place is known for its chole Puri, it's sold up till 3 PM, I arrived late and missed the opportunity to have it. Coming to samosa, that was one of the best samosas I had ever had. One samosa was enough for a light snack. The crust was crispy-crunchy like I like. There wasn't much oil on its surface. The filling of the samosas was good, but It could have been better. They don't add garlic (lehsun), onion (pyaj) in any of their food items. There were continuous orders for their samosa, from online as well as offline. Post 3 PM their samosas acquire the limelight.
I loved the chutney as well. They mix two chutneys one is tamarind (imli) chutney and another is green chutney which has spinach (paalak), coriander leaves (dhaniya patti), mint leaves (pudina). You can taste the flavour as well as the fragrance of spinach (paalak) in their green chutney. They told me the chutney is fresh and it's made daily. Also they don't add colors in their chutneys. The colors were natural. Also this place has an age old heritage, as it was established in 1952. If you're considering a good snack then you'll definitely enjoy their samosas. Do...
Read moreVisited this place for the first time after watching video of Food blogger Karan Dua. Place might be 50 plus year old but is over hyped. Me and my friend had Kachodi sabzi, Lassi and their "signature" poori chole. Taste was good but nothing iconic. Met most arrogant person in my life at this shop who was owner/manager. During our short conversation, he kept boasting about how poori chhole of the shop go as far as Pondicherry, Bhuvneshwar and even out of India like Dubai. He couldn't believe that me and my friend never heard the name of this shop inspite of being Delhites. Kept boasting of things in his fake American accent he had no contribution except for sitting on counter and watching over the affairs. Could have given 3 for food but attitude of this guy prompted me to deduct a point. Noone will loose anything if they avoid this eatery. Rather I would recommend Chache di hatti which is within 1 km radius and serves much better...
