Punjabi cuisine is widely popular and it can be non-vegetarian or even completely vegetarian. One of the main features of Punjabi cuisine is its diverse range of dishes. Most dairy products are abundantly used in Punjabi cuisine. My family particularly love the punjabi cuisine dishes using paneer as well as chole / chickpeas which can be cooked in many possible way. Starting from Chole Masala, Chole Chaat, Pindi Chole, Peshawari Chole to lots more one can surely enjoy.

    I'm a big fan of Pindi Chhole and Chana Masala from Punjab, but have never had a chance to try out Sukhe Chole. I must say it looks supremely delicious! Love the spices that have gone into it. 🙂

    Chole with gravy is the dish I usually prepare. This Sukhe Chole is a great idea, and I would like to try it, because it will go nicely into a wrap, with some fresh sliced onions and a dash of lemon juice, without making the wrap soggy!
