oh if you are a chole bhature fiend, then you must must eat at Rawalpindi – a tiny shop serving the best just opposite Hans Raj College in North Campus. They make this chutney that is absolutely lickalicious and the onions i feel i get there have this great taste oh and the chole bhature of course…. aaahhh such bliss… the owner makes a special masala that goes into making the chole and even sells it for us lesser mortals….do give it a try!

After reading all the glowing comments went to Nagpal after a drive of 16 kilometers and 1/2 hour in the rainy sunday morning. Bhaturas are great, chole are OK. Cheese is almost absent. And service is pathetic. Owners who must be making a crore out of hundreds of customers are willing to go to such great lengths to cause inconvenience, its really unbelievable. Whatever, the number of waiting customers may be, only 1 person will make bhaturas, only 1 person will pack chole and only 1 person will pack onion. it seems the owner gets perverse pleasure to keep customers weighting and makes them beg so they can eat it or take it home. What happened to old concept of polite service while serving food.

Good food could have been greater if the owners were more human and considerate towards the hapless customers no doubt egged by your site.

oh reading all this has made me emotional !!

Well my eyes were literally moist to see the pic and the article of Himashu…I got the link becoz i was searching for the perfect chholey recipe..and see where I landed.

I stay at a stones throw from Nagpal’s and its only after at Nagpals that I started to love chholey Bhature. I am no longer in India…but the first dish that either me or my husband eat after landing in Delhi …is chholey bhature from nagpal as a ritual ha ha! My husband likes the Puri-chholey combination though and one can also try the kachauri-aloo which is available from 4 p.m. as tea time snack.

For me the best part is to wait for that one single piece of potao in it and the carrot or the fresh mango pickle..

I think in whole of Delhi…Nagpal’s chholey Bhature are simply THE BEST!

Joydeep: I’ve been to Gopal all of once. Have tried only the chhole-bhature and the gulab-jamuns there. Found both to be sub-par. Yes, the bhature were nicely packed with paneer. But the chhole were quite devoid of any taste except mirch. And the gulab-jamuns were not as soft as they ought to be.

Add to that the traffic mess in that area, and I’m certainly not tempted to go there again, even though it’s within just a few kilometres of my house.

Guys,

Am sure people are also aware a place in Govindpuri Extension, “Gopal Ice Cream”. Apart from serving amazing (am sure, it gives competition to Nirula’s) ice-creams, flavours, shakes, etc.; it also serves Chole Bhature following the same timelines as of Nagpal’s. The place is overcrowded on weekends as if the entire Govindpuri (a sizeable population) is eating Chole Bhature. There are no seating arrangements, however U can stand & eat on small extensions of the counter…………The Bhature is sprinkled with Paneer and can be customized like “Karare” or less “Karare”. A plate of Chole Bhature cost Rs. 20 & is available only till 2:30-03:00 PM in the afternoon.

The other servings of the place are, Pav Bhaji (Rs. 25), Paneer Jalebi (Rs.100 / kg) and Samosaas & Kachori post 3:30 PM.

Let’s try it some time….

I was introduced to Nagpal by a local childhood friend who lives a 5 minute walk away. The first time I tried the goodies, I was hooked. I must admit that for the next couple of days I was fully expecting my digestive system, weakened by being away from Delhi all these years, to pack up. But I survived. Emboldened, I ventured back to Nagpal at least two other times during the rest of my Delhi stay. My local friend who lives near there tells me that Nagpal liberally adds a spice with super digestive powers (it might be anaardana) that virtually guarantees no bad gastric after-effects. My system, undid by Haldiram’s during a previous Delhi trip, survived several trips to Nagpal. So there could be some truth in the super spice theory.

I’ll have you know, Surbhi, that since that day I’ve been walking an average of 7km a day, five days a week! So there.

Motivate yourself the same way, who knows sab kucch digest ho jaayega!
