Jet Airways Chole chaat

I was travelling from TVM to Mumbai by Jet and I got this lovely sweet chole with chappati for lunch.Ofcourse there was chicken biriyani and chocolate mousse as well.But the chole or the way it was made was very new to me and interesting as well.So finally after a month I made this and fell in love with it again.
