Chole Masala is a popular Punjabi food. It is a nutritious dish packed with protein and fiber. This mouth watering dish is favorite of everyone. You can simply have this with anything like naan, bature, poori, paratha, chapati, samosa, cutlet and even bread. This chole masala is used as additional ingredient in many chat items. This is one of my favorite Indian dish .
Ingredients :
Chole - 2 cup
Onion - 1 large
Tomatoes - 2 medium
Green chillies - 3 nos
Ginger Garlic paste - 1 teaspoon
Chilli powder - 1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Chana masala - 2 tablespoons
Chat masala - 1 teaspoon
Cumin seeds -1 teaspoon
Asafoetida (Hing) - 1 pinch
Oil -3 tablespoons
Oil -3 tablespoons
Coriander leaves to garnish
Salt to taste
Method :
Wash and soak chole overnight. Pressure cook chole along with the soaked water for 2 whistles. Switch of the stove and let it cool down. In the other side, heat a pan with oil, wait till the oil is ready, add cumin seeds. When cumin seeds splutter, add onions and salt, fry them till golden brown. I added salt along with the onion so that the moisture in the onion is absorbed quickly, which helps in the process of frying the onions faster.
Now add minced ginger garlic paste, saute them till the raw flavor disappears. Add green chillies, saute them for 2 minutes. Now add chilli powder, turmeric powder, chole masala and saute for a minute. Pour in the cooked chole in to the pan. Mix them thoroughly so that the masalas are well incorporated. Let the gravy simmer in low heat for at least 20 minutes. Switch of the stove. Add in some chat masala, garnish it with coriander leaves and onions. Yummy!!!! Restaurant style Chole Masala is ready to serve.
