Chole Katlambe is a famous street food in Dehradun, like Chole Bhature in North India. It is made plain (with ajwain), or spicy. These Katlambe is mostly paired with Chole, but can be served with Aloo curry, chutney or pickle also. Even my kids enjoyed it with chocolate syrup. The taste of these katlama is very different, which are neither puffy like puri and bhature nor like mathri. But have a very unique taste and super delicious when served hot with Chole Masala.
