Recipe Notes :

Chole Shortcut : Use leftover chana masala or even canned chickpeas tossed with chaat masala if in a hurry.

Yogurt Tip : Use thick yogurt for a creamy texture; whisk it well to avoid lumps.

Make Ahead : You can prep chole and chutneys in advance and reheat before assembling.

Toppings : Pomegranate seeds, shredded carrots, or beetroot slivers add color and crunch.

Spice Control : Adjust chutneys and chili powder to suit your heat preference.
