For the puff dough- Sieve the flour very well.
- Mix the yeast and sugar in 1 teacup of warm water and stir until the yeast dissolves. Add this liquid to the flour and make a soft dough by adding some more warm water. Knead the dough for at least 6 to 7 minutes.
- Mix the ghee and salt very well. Add to the dough and mix well. Keep the dough under a wet cloth for 20 minutes. Thereafter, knead for 1 minute.
- Divide the dough into 20 small pieces and shape into small balls. Roll out small puffs with the help of a little flour.
For the chole- Wash and soak the kabuli chana overnight.
- Next day add the baking powder and salt and cook in a pressure cooker until soft.
