This Punjabi favorite, loaded with its nutritional benefits is one of the yummiest but also the healthiest delicacies that are eaten with rice. The chickpeas or Kabuli chana being low in fats makes it a favorite for the vegetarians.  Also, with the high fiber and protein content,  and tasty flavor of the Indian spices, providing many antimicrobial properties, chole is surely one of the best dishes.

  • Chickpeas [uncooked] - 2 tbsp
  • Onions [chopped] - 1 small
  • Tomatoes [chopped] - 1 small
  • Ginger [grated] - 1 tsp
  • Garam masala powder - ½ tsp

DIRECTIONS:
Step 1 Wash and soak the chule (chickpeas) in enough water overnight. Add enough amount of water as the chule increase in size after soaking it.
