L  ove this easy peesy method of preparing chole !! That too if I am using canned boiled chick peas.. Life cant be easier than this for making authentic chole!! I have prepared this on 2 different occasions and it has come out pretty well.

RAWALPINDI CHOLEFor printable recipe , click here

INGREDIENTS:

Boiled Chickpeas 500 gms
Tomatoes 3 Large Nos
Green Chillies 1 Nos
Ginger Garlic Paste 2 Tsp
Red Chilli Powder 1 Tsp
Coriander Powder 1/2 Tsp
Gram Flour( Besan) 3- 3.5 Tblspn
Turmeric Powder 1/2 Tsp
Chole Masala/Chana Masala 2 Tsp
Chat Masala 1 Tsp
Amchur Powder 1/2-3/4th Tsp
Salt To Taste
Oil 2 Tsp
Cumin Seeds( Jeera) 1 Tsp
Ajwain Seeds 1/2 Tsp
Coriander Leaves Handful for garnishing

 

 



DIRECTIONS:

  • Soak Chickpeas overnite and cook with a tea bag to get a suitable color. Alternatively add a pinch of salt + sugar while cooking Chickpeas. This process will require soaking only for 4 hours …
  • I have used boiled chickpeas here.
  • Chop tomatoes finely along with green chilly.
  • Heat oil in a Kadai and drop in Cumin Seeds & Ajwain Seeds. Once they splutter, add in chopped tomatoes, green chill and ginger garlic paste. Stir them well and cover the kadai with a lid inorder to avoid splashing .
  • Stir in Gram flour and give it a good mix.
  • Add all the powdered spices – Chole , Chat Masala , Red Chilli Powder, Amchur , Coriander, Turmeric powder & salt. Stir them well and cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Stir in the cooked Chickpeas , ensuring all the masalas get mixed well with the chickpeas.
  • Pour a glass of water and cook for 5 minutes, making sure to give a good stir occasionally.
  • Turn of the gas and pour the prepared Chole into the serving bowl. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and  onion rings.

 

KITCHEN NOTES:

Omit the garlic and it can be an ideal dish for no onion no garlic cooking!

Cheers
