Chole (Spicy Chickpeas) Preparation
Soak Chickpeas: Soak the chickpeas overnight in plenty of water. Drain the beans and rinse before cooking.
Cook Chickpeas: Add 3 cups of water and the soaked chickpeas along with a pinch of salt in a pressure cooker. Pressure cook until you hear 6-8 whistles or the chickpeas are soft and can be mashed easily.
How to Make Masala: In a frying pan, heat 2 tbsp oil. Now add cumin seeds; once they splutter, add the ginger-garlic paste and fry till it becomes aromatic.
Extend More Love to Your Onions and Tomatoes: Sauté some finely chopped onions and cook until they are golden brown. Now add tomato puree, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook till oil separates from the masala.
Mix Chickpeas: Add cooked chickpeas to the masala and mix everything well. Then add the chole masala and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Water can be added to lighten the thickness of the gravy.
Garnish and Serve: Finally, add garam masala and fresh coriander leaves. Chole is ready to serve hot with spice.How to Make Bhature (Fried Bread)
Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour with semolina wheat, then add yogurt, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Mix well. Pour in water and knead it into a smooth elastic dough. Cover the dough with a wet muslin cloth and let it rest for at least 2 hours.
Form the Bhature: Portion out pieces of dough as small balls. Roll each into a flat, slightly-sized crust roughly 6 to 7 inches in diameter.
Bhature Fry: Heat oil in a deep frying vessel. When the oil heats up, gently slide in one rolled bhature. Shallow fry on low flame until it appears puffy and turns golden brown on both sides. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
Serve Hot: Serve both the spiced chole and fluffy bhature hot. Enjoy your homemade Chole Bhature.
