2 onions, roughly chopped
3 tomatoes, roughly chopped
2-3 green chillies
1 tea pouch
2 bay leaves
1 black cardamom
4-5 cloves
1-inch cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
Salt to taste
Water as needed<\/p>
2 teaspoons chole masala
2 tablespoons tamarind water or 1 teaspoon amchur powder<\/p>
2 tablespoons ginger, julienned
1 teaspoon Kashmiri red chilli powder
1 teaspoon kasuri methi
Fresh coriander leaves for garnish<\/p>
Method<\/strong><\/p>
Open the cooker, remove the tea pouch and stir in the red chilli powder, chole masala and tamarind water or amchur powder. Simmer for a few minutes.
Heat mustard oil in a small pan. Add the ginger strips, Kashmiri chilli powder and kasuri methi, cooking for just a few seconds without burning the spices.
Pour the hot tempering over the chole, immediately cover with a lid and let it rest for a few minutes so the flavours blend.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with bhature, kulcha, jeera rice, paratha or chapati.<\/p>
