Spicy slow-cooked chickpea curry served with hot, fluffy fried bhatura — the iconic Punjabi combo, made fresh at Swad.
At Swad Restaurant, our Channa Bhatura (also called Chole Bhature) is the comforting Punjabi classic — chickpeas slow-simmered with onion, tomato, ginger and a fragrant blend of cumin, coriander, dried mango powder and garam masala, paired with two pieces of pillowy, golden fried bhatura.
Tripadvisor reviewers in Lethbridge specifically call out our Channa and Bhatura as a must-try. It's filling, deeply flavourful, and one of the best vegetarian Indian comfort meals in town.
The chickpeas are simmered until perfectly tender and the gravy is built layer by layer for depth. Each bhatura is hand-rolled and fried to order so it arrives hot, crisp and puffed at the table.
"The Channa Bhatura at Swad is exactly how it should be — spicy chickpea gravy, hot puffed bhatura. Best in Lethbridge."
"Reminds me of home. Big portions, real spice, and the bhature come to the table piping hot."
"Fabulous food! The chana bhatura was huge and so flavourful. Service was excellent."
