Chole/chickpeas/garbanzo/kabuli chane is my all time favorite dish. I am very fond of it. It goes well roti, parantha, rice, poori, tandoori roti, missi roti, bhatoore, nan, kulche, tikki, samose, pulav, poha, chaats, mathri, idlis, pasta etc.etc. list is long. It is mouth watering dish. It is always a main attraction in any party. Not taking too much time, I come to its recipe how we can prepare it. Here below it is:
500 grams (2 bowls) of kabuli chole
2 medium sized finely chopped onion
5-6 tbsp of tomato paste
1"piece of ginger
2 fresh chilies
pinch of asafetida
1 tsp of cumin seeds
pinch of ajvain seeds
salt to taste
1/2 tsp of red chili powder
1 tsp of roasted cumin power
1 tea bag
1.5 tbsp of chaat masala
1 tbsp of garam masala powder
2 tbsp of oil
Method
1. Wash and soak the kabuli /white chole overnight or minimum 5 hrs.
2. Now Take these soaked chole in pressure cooker with 8 bowls of water, 1 drop of oil, 1 tea bag and salt. Close the lid and keep it on the heat. When it comes on full pressure and 1st whistle comes, lower the heat to minimum and cook it for 25-to 30 minutes. Not more than that, otherwise chole texture will be spoiled. After 30 minutes, remove from heat. Adding 1 drop of oil to the chole while boiling, helps in cooking faster.
3. Let it cool off completely. Now open the lid and remove the tea bag.
4. Now heat the oil in frying pan. Add pinch of asafetida/heeng and cumin seeds. And let it crackle till it change its color to light brown. After that add ajvain seeds.
Now Add tomato paste. Cook it till oil droplets seems around it. Chowk/baghar/tadka masala is ready.
6. Then add this tadka masala to the boiled chole and mix well. Now again cook these chole with tadka again till gets desired thickness.
7. Spicy kabuli Chole is ready to serve.
Enjoy Healthy Cooking!!!
