Semi Home Made - Quick Kulche Chole

First of all, I am sorry, I am posting a blog post here after a long time. But I was super busy in my work and other blog. But here I am with another quick recipe for you.
Today I am sharing my childhood favorite meal which I use to eat outside my school a lot. I am sure many of you will relate to it, who are in India. It is often prepared and served still outside many office buildings also, specially in Connaught place or Chandni Chowk. But as I am not living in Indian anymore so I try and make all those things here so that I can satisfy my cravings. Hope you like this idea and if you do decide to make it, please share with me.
