Choley

This is one my favorite recipes. So today i will be sharing the recipe for it.


Ingredients:
1.)Garbanzo/chick peas - 430 gms (i use canned, but can use fresh chick peas. If using fresh chick peas soak it over night.)
2.)tomatoes - 3 medium
3.)onion - 1 medium(chopped finely)
4.)cloves - 2
5.)cinnamon - 1/4 the inch
6.)MDH choley masala - 2 tsps
7.)amchur powder - 1 tsp
4.)green chillies - 4(silt vertically)
5.)coriander leaves - 1/2 cup
6.)lime juice - 2tbsps
7.)oil - 2 tbsps
8.)salt

Procedure:
Take oil in a pan, when it gets hot add cloves and cinnamon. When they start giving out the aroma, add onions and green chillies. Saute till the onions get translucent. Now add the tomatoes and fry for a couple of mins. Then add the MDH masala and salt and stir for a min. Then add the peas and water and cook till the peas are completely cooked (test to check if peas are cooked it, take a pea in ur hand and try to press it between ur fingers. If it gets mashed easily with not much effort, the peas are cooked.). At this point add the amchur powder and mix well and cook for about 2 mins. Then finally add lime juice and garnish with coriander leaves. Choley is ready to be served. This goes extremely well with bhatura, puri or roti.
