The Chickpea Curry King of New Delhi
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 авг 2022
- Kawal Kishore Saluja and his family run Chache Di Hatti or “uncle's corner shop”, a hole-in-the-wall eatery in New Delhi, India. On the menu is one single dish -- Chole Bhature.
Chole Bhature is a common breakfast option in north India consisting of fried sourdough flatbread (bhature) with chickpea curry (chole). What sets apart Chache Di Hatti, is their secret spice mix for the chickpea curry, a recipe handed down to Kawal Kishore by his father.
The eatery has been serving Chole Bhature since 1957 from just that one location and Kawal Chacha (uncle) is in no hurry to make any changes! If you are in New Delhi, and want to know what a heady Dilli ka nashta (Delhi's breakfast) tastes like, do go over to Chache Di Hatti. Be prepared for the long queue, and the most amazing taste!

I love that he was so honest about what drives him. It's just about making a living, how can you survive if you don't work?
I am here
Exactly we don't get up in the morning with the Buren or purpose of saving the world ... Nah I got bills to pay
hank bro shouldn't have gone to the toilet that day💀💀
this dude ny friend makes soo much money you coudnt believe it!n He makes couple of hundred K's$ per year! He has more wealth than the most people in the west nowadays haha
I like his no nonesense attitude:
"How do you want people to remember you?"
"I dunno, it depends on the people!"
Valid points were made.
i think the funniest part was 7:00
the board above says
"plastic bags have been banned
please don't embarrass yourself by asking for it"
it means "please don't embarrass us" not "yourself".
It’s means please don’t embarrass us
Yes..it translates clearly as "us", not "yourself"
As a former Delhi University kid, i can tell you that this area is just full of amazing restaurants and stalls. But Chacha ki chole bhature was the only place that had queues every damn day.
Absolutely
which are the other ones can you please name them? I'm planning a visit to delhi and may try the street snacks in kamla nagar.
@@anishpimple21 From the campus perspective, there is tom uncle's maggi point. If you want to try rolls go for Chowringhee. Inside Kamlanagar's second by lane (adjacent to MC Donalds) if you go straight you will find a road that leads to ghantaghar. There is ample of kachori, samosa and other indian typical snacks over there. In Kamla nagar you have lot of street options. Obviously there are restaurants as well, Berkos, Chalte Firte, just above chalter firte there is a restaurant that serves great fish. If you consider eating in a Dhaba consider Ved Dhaba. There the condaments are better. Ved Dhaba is famous for it's sweets (renowned actually) and Lassi. I would suggest you to try it. There is also a momo place which is quite famous. I personally would suggest in the main lane opposite to Hansraj Hostel Gate, you will move straight on the same road just near the walkers lane there is a famous momo stall. There are ample amount of chatwala, golgappa bala, stalls serving burger etc. And you can try them, no preference. And if you like non-veg I would suggest Chadni Chowk and Jama Masjid area for kebab, chicken korma, biriyani and curries. From south, you can head over to shops near Nizamuddin dargah which is enroute to Humayun's tomb.
@@kallolpoetry maggi point is overrated and absurdly priced
@@forwardobservations8222 Even I thought so too.. 😆😆😆 but since it's famous, I suggested it. Even chacha di hatti I thought was a bit over rated but then such a big line. So, I started liking it. There is one in the ghantahhar road, he uses brown chola. Just while you turn from malkaganj chowk to ghantaghar the road that leads to ghantaghar. The first chole wala sells I guess chole chawal and chole bhature for 20/-. That one is far better.
Munchies: So what drives you to cook? It's your sheer passion for food and sense of community service, right?
Indian street food vendor: Because I need money to live
Based
Na man that's a typical Indian father 🤣
The realist answer so far
no shit talk , only reality of life.
W food vendor
The owner is such a no-BS person, the final segment was just plain and beautiful!
Indeed
Chickpeas are underrated! Curry, flour, dried, soup, hummus, falafel etc
Hummus
Ful Medamas!😊
Chickpea tacos are good too👌
With Mexican chorizo as a taco filling 🔥or toasted with shell on in a cast iron skillet 🔥
not in India. It's adored here.
Hi @munchies please call this dish what it is: Chole or chole batura (sp varies). If you can label European dishes as ‘carbonara’ or ‘pasteis de nata’ ( as opposed to creamy noodle dish or dessert thing) please call this by its rightful label. This dish is not called ‘chickpea curry’ by over a 1 B Indians (or even those of us in the diaspora outside India).
Thank you
Who hurt you Shilpi? Why areyou so passionate about this?
@@rrrkk stfu with your woke bullshit okay and stop labeling her as a victim, a "person of color. she's indian and I'm indian and we al are "people of color" in my country. We don't have bullshit issues you've mentioned. our problems are a lot more basic like extreme poverty, hunger, caste discrimination, rape culture, infrastructure, education etc. Vice is spreading the good things about our culture in this video and she's just nitpicking the shittiest stuff to outrage. that's only possible when you have a position of privilege. any Indian you come across youtube who can hold a conversation in proper English comes from a position of privilege in India(including me). So don't label her as a victim.There are better things to get offended at and outraged about.
bruh you need to rethink what your priorities are lol not all Indians go around nitpicking stuff like this
I agree completely. Every dish from India is called "____ curry". Why not use the actual name of the dish just as we do with foods from other countries.
Touch grass Shilpi. There r bigger concerns for Indians like inflation and unemployment
There's a somewhat similar dish of chickpeas served with 2 soft fried fluffy dough shells plus various condiments known as "doubles" that is the most popular street food by far on the islands state of Trinidad and Tobago off the coast of Venezuela. It evolved from a dish brought by Indian indentured labourers who came after slavery was abolished.
There are videos of traveling foodies such as davidsbeenhere trying it out as well as many videos on how to make it
Chola Kulcha
Very interesting. Thanks for the info
Out of curiosity, what's the dish called in trinidad?
@@thebutler4212 it's called "doubles". Was originally sold as street food with one of the fried dough shell known as barra covered with chickpeas, then some people started asking vendors to "double" up on the barra and so it came to be called "doubles". Nobody here calls it anything else.
For those who don't understand Hindi, the translation does not do justice to how kindly and wisely this gentleman spoke. No wonder their food is so delicious.
Love honest hardworking people potrayed in this video. This man was honest, he does it because of the money. Pray their family legacy lives for generations to come!
No other place in the country can have the same taste of Chole like Delhi. No only the chole, but also the simple boiled Chole/Muttar served with the steamed Kulche is at a different level. There is atleast one iconic Chole Bhature place in all localities of Delhi.
Bhai, the chole kulche you mentioned is one of the most under-rated dishes of delhi....it's impossible to replicate that taste at home....
@@rahulm4490 exactly. During college days it used to be my staple for Lunch. Those road side Chole Kulche were heaven. Never had paranthas even if available.
Also, nothing beats the late night Anda Parantha from a road side stall. Exam days, after getting exhausted, Anda Parantha at near midnight was my go to food.
@@junaid42465 Yaar Delhi ki baat karoge to there is no end to food....the options, choices and accessibility have only grown over time....Even for chole bhature, every neighbourhood has it's own favourites and fan base....for instance, I know Chache di hatti is most famous....but somehow I kept thinking of my old neighbourhood Mehak food corner chole bhature in Kalkaji after watching this video and also Kakaji corner in Amar Colony which used to be a favourite....about Paranthas though, not so much as to be honest I think no restaurant can beat home made paranthas....but yes, for late night hunger going and hanging out at these places was such a vibe....
@@rahulm4490 it’s been ages for me. Have to come and stay in Delhi again for a few days just got the food. 😁
@@junaid42465 Haha...same here...which is why it is a torture to watch such chole bhature videos
I am from Rawalpindi and its awesome to see our brothers enjoying this amazing dish
my dad loves pindi chole, my nanke used to make it in a huge cast iron kadhai, recipe has been in the family for 100 years. Bhatura amritsari lekin chole to rawalpindi se!
Dukan ke upar likha hua tha hindi mein "rawalpindi wale chole bhature"...that means yeh log partition ke time pe pindi se aaye the delhi
Kabhi aaiye Dilli aur kha ke jaiye 🙏
@@KKPR533 glad they didn't get converted by these butcherers.
@@loseweightusingketo pork soup k sath.
When you skip College Verification for Chole Bhature, u know its legit .
This was my daily spot for breakfast in 2008-2011 and I still eat there whenever visit kamlanagar. Best chhole bhature in India and word not just Delhi.
Indian food is amazing. Sending love from Thailand..
I like the last statement the owner made never run after the green garden of other and leave your own nice garder or else neither you would have the dream that you run after nor will you have what you already have. This is what exactly my dad tells me.
A perfect example as to no go behind meat alternatives for vegan or vegetarian.... Its the same reason why Anthony Bourdain once said in india he can easily be vegetarian
I love Indian food, in many places people are joking about Indian food
It's so underrated, only if they can try it once, maybe butter chicken or chicken tikka masala
Chicken tikka masala isn’t actually Indian, you won’t even find it in India. It was created when the British who left India after Indian independence but still had a taste for Indian food that is full of flavours and spices so they asked chefs to prepare a dish that inculcated all the Indian flavours.
@@vikramadityasingh6880 I know, that's why I mention butter chicken first. Chicken tikka masala is widely available in Indian restaurants across the world and it tastes good so it's good for people new to Indian food
@@vikramadityasingh6880 It was apparently created in Glasgow at a restaurant called the shish mahal
@@vikramadityasingh6880 British(I mean white guy here) never created chicken tikka masala, it was Indian or bangladeshi living in England who did that.
i am from rawalpindi pakistan,,,,, good to hear you’ve kept the tradition alive ❤️👉🇵🇰
Jai hind!
God Indian food is so fucking good. This in particular looks great. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was super cheap too
Its one of the cheapest meals you can find in India. Ranges from 30-100INR a plate on the streets.
What else is worth trying other than butter chicken? That was the first curry I got and it was really good
Less than a dollar, hard to imagine how people can make a living like that, but thats how it is.
@@jakethomas5016 try South Indian food. Idly, Masala Dosa, Vada, Filter Coffee, Ghee Pongal, Rava Dosa, Upma, Bisibele Bath, Spiced Curd/Yoghurt Rice, South Indian Kesari, Thirunelveli Halwa
PS: Everything i mentioned is vegetarian. There is a whole constellation of South Indian meat dishes if you are into it, but i am not an expert on them 😀
@@jakethomas5016 it depends on where you live
If it's the UK then you'll get tons of variety but in the US there's not going to be a lot of difference in butter chicken and other curries
The real pindi boys in Delhi 😜 I am from Rawalpindi and I wish could come to have all food from Delhi may be someday , you guys are lucky having such authentic recipe , we have these cholay everywhere in Rawalpindi pindi but served with naan and roti , no bhatoora 🥺 looking forward , keep up great work 👍🏻 massive love from 🇵🇰
No. Please don't come. Keep yourself and your people on your side of the border. Neither we want to go to your porkichustan.
Hi from New York, loved the episode 👍the conversation with the owner was interesting, he comes out as a genuine guy 😊I could only wish we had something as close to this restaurant serving chole bhature in US but we don’t. And the prices are very economical, definitely not for profit. That’s how people should remember him😉
If a movie were to be made in this guys life, he would be played by Vinay Pathak 😁
Filed under "Things I really want to try but have no idea what it will taste like or where to try it other than this specific place in another country"
I think easy to get Chole Bhature at any Indian Restaurant. Although they would probably be tweaked to suit palate of the region the restaurant is in. maybe..
@@SHAILESH506 you're right, I'll definitely seek it out from my local Indian spot!
hands down my favorite Indian street food!
Came here for the food. Stayed for the wisdom words.
These are really awesome, I remember I use to go there in my college times, Sometimes I use to reach by 2 PM and they were all finished, So better to go early.
Man this gave me the real feels, I was in Hansraj and we were practically roaming around lanes eating food, chilling and missing the classes post 10 in the morning. 😁😆😅
Q) How can you tell if a student is from Hansraj?
A) They'll tell you within 5 minutes of interaction.
@@krishnamohanmishra Man calm down, imagine what your response would be like if someone was from SRCC, LSR or Stephens. 😁😁😁 And this place is just opposite of the Hansraj Hostel Gate. So became nostalgic that's all. 😁😁😁
Kawal Kishore uncle dropping pearls of wisdom here! This is what you do if you want to live a happy life. You might have a little less money but happiness would be more than enough!!
I'm From rawalpindi.and this dish in local language called chikaar cholay . very tasty dish
No one cares
The Shop name is "Rawalpindi Chole Bhature "
Yes, we eat this in Islamabad and Pindi and rest of Punjab quite often as a staple. Delicious.
@Yae Miko I did, ya weeb 😆.
Checked it out that one has a lot of gravy ,and its not Pindi cholay , I wonder if the Pindi cholay as is found in Delhi is still available in Pakistan , something tells me it was a patent of pindi Hindus who came to India after partition as Pindi chana doesnt have garlic or onions as its considered Saatwik
I am happy to see vice covering chache di hatti. This is hands down best chole bhature place in delhi.
My bro in college took me there once...........it was a pleasant experience! happy to see them being documented by Vice!!!
Studied in kmc and literally ate here everyday for a better part of 3 years hatti has some special memories for me and all my friends. We would skip after first class to get some chole bhature and uncle was always kind to us all knowing it was our first meal of the day
Bhai, who calls Chole Bhature as chickpea curry??? Saara magic khatam ho jaata hai...sounds like some dry, sanitized food eaten by Englishmen...call it Chole bhature bhai...there is an entire mythology, fan clubs and culture behind it
Really want for visit India for street food so yummy...
I love this place. Used to be one of my favourites back in college. Feeling nostalgic and hungry as well. 🤪
They are truly legendry, quality and taste is sublime. Chache di hatti is on the top for sure.
Very simple man.
Does his work honestly day after day after day.
HAVE EATEN THERE FOR 20 + YEARS. ONE OF THE FAVOURITES
...and they are very kind, very sweet...(her typical delhi accent gr8)
A nice and thoughtful message by uncle ji at last.
Beautiful food 😋 😍!! Brings us ALL. together ❤
Honest man earning an honest living. Good good. Affordable prices.
It’s heavenly
The small bhatura and curry chickpeas looks divine.
Very simple but authentic and tasty.
Well done Arpita and team Vice! This is lovely!
Have eaten there few times…brings back memories of visiting india :)
Glad to see Indian street foods are being featured on Vice Media
Love this style of food! In bay area there is a restaurant that sells something similar.
Really important lesson at last.
wise man, wish I could try his food!
Incredible !
look at those onion cutting skill, impressive
Nice lesson given in the End . Youngsters please keep this in mind 🙏🇮🇳
Being an alumnus of the University of Delhi and a former regular at Kamla Nagar, I can verify that this place serves damn good chhole bhature. 💓
Very straight forward and truthful talks by Mr. Saluja.
They serve really best chole Bhature.
Delicious food. And it’s vegan .. I’m no vegan but I can enjoy a good meal of it happens to be vegan and delicious at the same time
Oh it's not vegan, they use ghee.
@@deepdivin what’s that ?
@@jollygoodgordon5580 clarified butter
@@jollygoodgordon5580 what Shreyas said. Basically butter from which the milk fat solids have been removed.
You can definitely make a vegan version of it without the ghee! I am Bengali and we don't generally use ghee in our everyday chickpea curry and yet it tastes delicious!!!
If you are ever in Toronto area, Kwality Sweets in Brampton channa batura will take you to Delhi instantly
Thank you #Munchies. Love every bit of this. My neighbour is from Pakistan and he taught me how ot make Chickpea Curry. Once you have tried it you will never eat American chili agin.
Love it!!!! Great food!!!!
Looks Amazing!
Looks delicious!!
I have had this and this is good.👍🏻
I miss this place. Chacha was our regular lunch/breakfast stop.
Being a pindi boy (from Rawalpindi) I've tasted these cholay.
Those words at the end were ❤️
as a Hip hop sample head had to stop at 6:12 and try and recall the track on the background,2002 Blackalicious 'make you feel that way" who sampled the Kashmere stage bands " Picture of innocence"
Very genuine Desi looks yummy choly is my favorite
Indian food god i love it.
Uncle is basically relentless execution in practice!
Talks wisdom and absolute sense.
Im from Pakistan Rawalpindi and im proud of this. We have the same cholay and same roti .
Looks delicious and I’ll have to find this place next time I visit New Delhi.
Let me know. Will love to host you
Delhi food is Heavenly
Pawan di hatti in vishwas nagar near swarn cinema road shahdara is also a place for chhole bhature , chole chawal lovers... Taste hyegine and serving also good...
One of the best thing to eat🙁 really want to enjoy this
Be satisfied with what you have and be happy with what you do...
The last words by the shop owner.

I miss campus so much right now. i lived in du for 25 years and I have fond memories of this chole bhature and kamla nagar in general, we still use his masala in our kitchen!
This vendor is soooo good.....very humble and honest.....and he remembers pakisthan recipie everytime😀.....❤️
He remember because his father told him and his father has to leave his native place due to partition. Before that there was no Pakistan.
Former DU student here, they served the best chole bhature, it was pocket friendly and delicious that is if you could get a plate cause the line is longggg.
Nothing beats Indian food dude
Yes please!
vice and wise advice, thank you vice for being wise
This is EXACTLY where Trini doubles was adapted from...the indentured laborers brought their food and used what was available....BEST FOOD EVER!!!!!
Ate here throughout my law school at delhi university. Hands down best chole bhature in India.
It looks more colourful in real😄
I'd like that recipe!
😆 🤣 😂
I miss India 😭
I m highly impressed with what the gentleman had said...
Fasi ko chor udati ke peeche nai bhagna chahiye
Chhole bhature of Delhi are next level tasty ♥️🔥
I study in KMC, so I went there once. It was really good taste was something different.
I studied at KMC and lived in the hostel. We used to have it for ₹2/- and for aaloo wala ₹2.50 !
Vice showing good about is like achhe din in India
