yummy chole

try this out
take a cup of chhole
soak them overnight with a pinch of salt
throw away the water if it is whitish and foamy
add four big coarsely chopped onions to the chholes in a pressure cooker
and one peeled full pod garlic and one inch thinly sliced ginger
add six black pepper seeds, four cloves, two green cardamoms
one cinnamon stick, four big cardamoms, four chopped tomatoes,
salt to taste and two glasses of water ( if you have thrown away the previous nights water)
put on high till you get a whistle and then cook on low flame for three to four more whistles
cool and drain
keep the water aside.
put a boad vessel ( kadhai) on the fire.
add two to three tablespoon oil , add one tsp cummin (zeera) seeds , two dried red chillies, one tsp turmeric powder, half tsp hing powder, two tsp coriander seed powder ( dhania powder), a little red pepper too( if you like it spicy) stir and put the chhole onion garlic etc mixture in this.
Now you just have to mash the onions and garlic as you stir till you cannot see any more of the white flakes.
presto
the chholes are ready
garnish with coriander and garam masala powder
