Chole Masala without Chole Masala Powder
Chhole Masala is a North Indian dish. It is all about boiled chickpeas, or kabuli chana, cooked in a rich, tangy gravy consisting of tomatoes, a little bit of onions, garlic, ginger, and a plethora of Indian spices sautéed or browned with the gravy. The chickpeas absorb the aromatic flavours of the spices in the gravy very well. The chickpeas maintain its shape but should be soft enough to melt in mouth.
