Chole puri is a popular North Indian dish featuring a chickpea curry flavored with an aromatic mix of spices (chole) and served with deep-fried bread (puri). Instead of traditional deep-frying, we opt for a healthier approach by air-frying the puris. If you have a basket-style air fryer, be sure to place them in the center of the basket to prevent the circulating air from folding them as they cook.
