Chana Masala pairs so well with round and soft gujarati rotlis too.
For Chole you will need:-
- 3 cup boiled chick peas(garbanzo beans)you can use tin
- 1 big Onion finely chopped(I like mine pureed)
- 2-3 tsp Green chillies and ginger-garlic paste
- 1 cup tomato pureed
- Salt to taste
- pinch Asafoetida
- 2-3 tbsp Chole or Chana masala(easily available in Indian Shops)
- Red chilli powder, Tumeric powder,Garam masala and dry coriander and cumin powder also Dry mango powder(adjust to your taste)
- 3-4 tbsp Olive oil(you can use any)
- Fresh finely cut coriander, slices of Onion and lemon wedges for garnishing..
- 2 cup Plain flour
- 1/4 cup semolina(fine)
- 1 tsp fast action dry yeast
- 1 tsp each salt and sugar
- 1tsp ghee or oil
- Oil for deep frying
- 1/2 cup milk-Sieve the maida flour, add ghee,semolina,milk,yeast and knead to a smooth dough. Cover with a muslin cloth and keep aside for more than 3-4 hours.
Method:-Chole
- In a heavy bottom pan heat oil and fry onion for 5-6 minutes or untill golden brown. Add CGG paste and fry for another 3-4 minutes. Now add Tomato puree and all the masala powder and let it cook the masala untill you see ol leaving masala. Add chick peas and mix really well and add about 1 cup water and let it simmer for about 12-15 minutes or untill gravey thickens. Garnish it..
- Make small balls from the dough, roll into thick puris(small circles) and fry in oil on both sides..Bhathure should be white colour not brown or golden...also I made few methi(fenugreek) bhathre's by adding some Kasoori Methi(dry fenugreek leaves)..Serve it hot with Chole and Enjoy as much as my family did!!
