Story:
\nChaap Chole Dabbal is a combo meal or breakfast that is also a popular street food in Sindhi populated areas. Chaap is a tikki or patties, chole is chickpea and dabbal or double is bread.. Another version of this dish is Dal Chole Dabbal <\/strong> This dish is so popular as a street food that there is even a song, \u2018Dal Chole Dabbal\u2026 tu khayi vhat gul\u2026 o kaka, o chacha, tu aedhe aa\u2026 tu dal vathi kha (Dal Chole Dabbal\u2026 o sweet person, you come and eat. Listen uncle, you come here and eat the Daal.). <\/p>\n

This dish evokes nostalgic memories of my parents telling me how they used to get a plate of Chaap Chole Dabbal or Dal Chole Dabbal for 50 paise. These dishes are no longer commonly available in Ahmedabad, as street food vendors have shifted to more modern or cosmopolitan dishes. <\/p>\n

This dish has 6 components or elements. The first element is Dabbal, which is bread. Second and third is Chaap, which is stuffed aloo ki tikki (Stuffed potatoes cutlets). The aloo ka masala (mashed potatoes) and chana dal (split chickpeas lentil) combined makes a single element. Fourth is Chole (chickpeas). Fifth is Imli ki Chutney (Tamarind paste) and the sixth is diced & raw onion.<\/p>\n
