To knead the dough : Take maida , suji , salt and daahi in a bowl. Mix all the ingredients well with your hand or spoon as per your wish. Now add some warm water. Please add only little water at a time or the dough will be very loose and sticky. So be careful. As it is daahi will moist the maida/suji a bit.
Knead the dough soft , keep punching it for 5-7  minutes. The apply few drops of oil and cover with a slightly wet cotton cloth for 1-2 hrs.




After about 2 hrs , punch the dough for 2-3 minutes. Make balls with the dough and make medium sized puris/bhaturer with the help of few drops of oil. Heat the oil in kadhai and deep fry the bhature till creamy pink colour. 

For Chole : At first , add Oil in the Wok/Kadhai , once it is heated add Dalchini , Badi elaichi and Tez Patta. Now , Add the 1 Teaspoon of the roasted masala and garam masala. Fry till the fragrance spreads. (Approx for a minute). Please make sure you keep the gas flame on slow or medium and never on high. Once the masala is done , add ginger/garlic/chilly paste. Sauté the paste until golden brown. 

Now its time to add the onion , salt and fry till slightly golden. Add Chole Masala , Chilly Powder , Coriander Powder , Tumeric Powder and Garam Masala. Saute for a minute , add 1/2 cup of water and saute for 1-2 minutes. Now add the tomato paste and keep sautéing. Once you see oil droplets over the gravy , add some water , sauté it for few more minutes.

It is time to add the boil chole (do remove the potli , it was only for use during boiling) without the boiled water (but keep the water do not throw it). Fry the boiled chole with the gravy do mash few chole with the masher or spatula and saute for a minute or 2. Now add the water (boiled chole) and bring it boil for sometime on slow flame covered with lid for 10-12 minutes.
