Its was chole poori time yesterday. My child’s favourite.
This time i made chole differently as I try to improve my chole curry to get that oomph factor and my hubby is a critical critic, he wouldn’t simply say its nice when its not and I wait for his verdict every time I make anything becoz that way I can only improve.

Its Thursday, my exercise and swim night so arranged everything on the table and told him to have it when he came home hungrily after a hectic stressful journey from London and dashed off to my exercise class and then my swim with one of my friend. Anyway came back late at 11:00 only be praised by my lovely hubby

I walked in and there he was waiting to tell that he had one of the most wonderful dish and how it reminded him of his college days in Pune, and that wonderful city’s lovely Punjabi restaurants It was a nice surprise, he absolutely loved it, he kept on praising me and I was like totally over the moon guys!!!
Now now now!! here comes the best bit ie., my recipe:

Chickpeas: 2 cups(soaked overnight and boiled with chilli powder and turmeric)
(make a paste of 1 handful of boiled chickpeas)
Tomatoes: 3 to 4
Onions: 2
Green chillies: 2
Chana masala: 2 tbsp
Ginger-garlic paste: 1tsp.
Turmeric and Chilli powder: 1 tsp each
Salt to taste

How to make:

Fry onions and chillies in 1 tbsp of oil until the onions turn soft, now add ginger- garlic paste and saute for couple of min, i tend to add chana masala now as it release its aroma when u fry in oil.

Now add tomatoes, chilli powder, salt and turmeric and saute for 5 min.Now the chickpeas paste first and saute for 5 more min and then add chole along with the water boiled.

As soon as the water reduces, garnish with coriander and serve with hot poories!!!

Yum Yum!!!!
