Chole and Weekend Party

*************************************************************


Chole and Weekend... Party !!


Hi friends.. I was just busy in a small weekend party in my house.. So just wanted to share with u all what did i cook :) !! I cooked most of the south Indian dishes has all my friends were north Indians, They all love south indian dishes.. Lucky :D !!As one of my friends parents are leaving back to India(A reason to party :) !! ) , we arranged a small party for 12-15 friends...

The menu is as follows..

Chole

My version of Chole... I had to skip Onion and Garlic as one of the family dont have them !!

Ingredients

1 cup Kabul chana soaked and cooked (soak overnight)
1 cup Tomatoes Chopped
1/4 cup Onions Chopped
1 tbsp Ginger Garlic paste
1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tsp Chole Masala
1/2 tsp Red chilli powder
1/2 tsp Coriender and Cumin powder
1 tbsp Cilantro Chopped
2 tbsp Oil
salt to taste


Method

1. Heat the oil and add Ginger garlic paste. Saute for few mintues.
2. Add the Onion ,saute for sometime till the onions are almost transparent.
3. Add the tomato, bit of salt and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. til the tomatoes are cooked. Smash the tomatoes, make a thick gravy.
4. Now add all the masalas, Kabul chana, salt. Cook for another 5 minutes .(add water as how thick you want the gravy to be, while cooking)
5. Garnish with cilantro Chole is ready to serve.
Note: Can also add 1/4 tsp of Amchur powder to increase its taste.
