Chole Paratha is a protein rich , healthy and nutritious Indian flat bread that is made from chickpeas (chole) ,few spices and whole wheat flour.I mostly make this when i have excess chole that i cooked for making chole or channa masala and often pack this paratha for kids lunch box along with some yogurt and pickle the next day.

TIPS & VARIATIONS:
1.The chole should be cook in such a way that it should be soft but not mushy. Once the pressure is released, if there is excess water in the chole, drain water fully and then mash the chole.
2.You can use canned chickpea as well.
3.You can add finely chopped mint (pudina) for extra flavor.
