Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.
2. Add Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Gradually add warm water, while kneading to form a smooth and soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
4. Add ginger garlic paste and chopped green chilies to the pan, sauté for another minute until the raw aroma disappears.
5. Incorporate chopped tomatoes and cook until they turn soft and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
6. Add cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt to the mixture, stirring well to combine the spices.
7. Add the boiled or canned chickpeas to the pan, along with 200 milliliters of water. Stir to mix everything. Cover and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.
8. Add garam masala to the chickpeas and adjust salt to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes and then turn off the heat.
9. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a flat disc about 6-8 inches in diameter.
10. Heat the remaining oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry each disc until golden brown and puffed up on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
11. Serve the hot bhatures with chole, garnished with fresh coriander leaves and lemon wedges.
