Roadside kulche chole recipe | chana kulcha | jammu street food | no oil chickpeas recipe with step wise pictorial method is here in this blog.

If you have ever been to jammu city, you will find the cycles almost in every nook and corner of the city selling kulche chole.

This roadside kulche chole recipe is so popular that if we call it the most consumed food/recipe of jammu, no one can prove us wrong.

There is no specific point or location where you will find these sellers because they sell kulche chole on cycles only, so they have a movable shops. But you will surely find them mostly in front of colleges and schools.

We still remember that during our school days, we used to get Rs. 1 everyday for buying these kulche chole in our break time. Even the tiffin is there in the bag, but our first love was kulche chole only.

Now the cost of one kulcha chole is Rs. 15/- but the taste is still that traditional. Even now, many a times when we don’t feel like cooking anything in the kitchen, for whatever reason, this kulche chole is the best food to buy conveniently.

The sellers of roadside kulche chole recipe have one big metallic pot on their cycles carrying boiled chole/chane/chickpeas. Also carrying many spices and other ingredients, this roadside kulche chole recipe is being prepared on the spot.

The best part of this roadside kulche chole recipe is that the stuffing is being prepared without using oil.

Here, by without oil, we mean not even a single drop of oil. However the sellers do use butter to toss kulcha on hot tawa before stuffing them.

Although it is not very surprising that cooking is possible without oil, although to an extent and earlier also, we have done the cooking without oil.

But in those cases, we had to do a little compromise with the taste so never made those recipes a part of our blog.

But in case of given recipe, there’s no compromise with the taste at all. Rather the stuffing of this roadside kulche chole recipe is much tastier than the chane made with oil.
