1 large Onion, finely chopped

2 medium Tomatoes, finely chopped

2 small Green chillies, sliced (optional)

4 tsp Mustard oil

2 cups Water

2 sprigs Coriander leaves, finely chopped for garnish

1/4 tsp Coriander powder

2 Bay leaves (tej patta)

1/2 tsp Amchur powder (dried mango powder)

Method of Preparation

Drain the safeed chole.

Peel the onion, ginger and garlic and wash them along with tomato and green chilli.

Finely chop the onion, tomato, and slice the green chillies and crush ginger and garlic.

Pressure cook the chole with 2 cups of water and salt for 25-30 minutes. Drain and reserve the water.

Heat oil in a pan, add bay leaf and chillies, and stir; add chopped onions and fry for 1-2 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook until soft and oil separates.

Add salt, turmeric and coriander powder and mix well.

Add boiled chole to the pan, mix and cook for 10-12 minutes on low flame, adding a few tbsp of the reserved water if needed to prevent sticking to the pan. Add amchur powder and freshly ground garam masala.

Serve hot garnished with coriander leaves.
