In an interview with Gaurav Kapur in 2016, Kohli had revealed that Chhole Bhature was his favourite dish.
“Ram's Chhole Bhature in Rajouri Garden 110 per cent. That too, I'll go to his shop and have it, not take away. By the time it comes home, it’s not a bhatura anymore. It feels like a stale bread. Fresh Bhatura's where you pop a hole with your finger along with some onions, mint chutney and some pepper pickle,” Kohli had said.
