CHOLA BHATURA: This dish has become very popular in north India. The popularity of Chola Bhatura has spread so fast that it is now easily found in other parts of the country where the eating habits have been somewhat different. Chana or Chola as it is called is basically black gram which is good for health. But the style of cooking and the amount of oil makes it unhealthy for heart and waistline. Bhatura is deep fried and needs to be avoided.
