Sita Ram Diwan Chand: Delhi's Chole-Bhature Icon's Journey, Original Outlet Temporarily Closed

• Sita Ram Diwan Chand, Delhi's famous Chole-Bhature brand, temporarily closed its original Paharganj outlet due to an LPG gas shortage.
• Owner Pran Kohli confirmed the closure but assured other outlets (Rajouri Garden, Greater Kailash, Laxmi Nagar) and franchises in Gurugram and Faridabad remain operational.
• The brand's journey began in 1955 when Sita Ram Kohli, a 15-year-old refugee from Lahore, started selling Chole-Bhature on a bicycle.
• Evolving from a bicycle cart to a permanent shop in the 1970s, the brand is now managed by its third and fourth generations, expanding across cities.
• Its unique taste comes from bhature made with paneer, ajwain, fenugreek, asafoetida, reheated on a griddle, and chole with 20+ homemade spices; praised by Sanjeev Kapoor and Salman Khan.
