Editors Review

A hot bowl of Rawalpindi chole is a delicacy to enjoy, when it is served with steaming rice or Indian breads like naan, roti, bature etc. It is also a good source of vegetable protein, fiber and loads of minerals. You can make it little less spicy, if you have kids. But you have the liberty to make it as spicy as you want.

It was a part of India till the partition...when punjab was ripped into two, one half became part of Pakistan. Didn't you know that?
