AMAZING CHHOLEY

AMAZING CHHOLEY
INGS: 1 Cup Kabuli Channa ( Chickpeas),
1 Tbsp Channa Dal,
1 Onion chopped,
1 Tomato small size, chopped,
1\4 Tsp Turmeric powder,
1\2 Tsp Red Chilly powder,
1 Tbsp Chholey masala powder,
Few cloves Garlic,
A Piece Ginger,
1-2 Green Chilly,
A Pinch Soda-bi-carb powder,
4-5 Tbsp Little Black Tea,
2 Tbsp Oil,
Salt to taste.

METHOD: Soak the chickpeas and channa dal overnight.
Next day pressure cook both together along with the soda and the black tea.
Grind in a mixer jar onion, tomato, chilly, garlic, ginger, chholey masala, turmeric powder and red chilly powder to a fine paste.
Put a pan to heat add the oil, the paste and cook\ stir until oil appears. Now add the cooked chholey from the pressure cooker and add salt, cover and allow to cook for 10 minutes.
Serve hot.

My personal tips to serve the chholey:
make a tempering, so heat some oil, cumin seeds, asafoetida, sliced onion, few sliced capsicum, few long  cut tomato and ginger juliennes, stir these for 4-5 minutes and lastly little red chilly powder.
The second l tip is to add little sweet chutney to the
chholey when hot then serve..
