Chaat wale Chholey (Street style chickpeas)
Chhole are one of the street foods which could be enjoyed in a healthier way by making it at home and sticking to clean toppings. Here is a quick and easy recipe to satisfy your chaat cravings in minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 green chilies (chopped)
- 1 tsp roasted crushed cumin
- 1 tsp roasted crushed coriander
- 1 tsp Aamchur powder (dry mango powder)
- 2 tsp chaat masala (I used shaan)
- ΒΌ tsp black salt
- 2 cans boiled chickpeas (400 gram each)
- 100 ml (1/2 cup) water
Instructions
- Open the chickpea cans and drain the excess water using a colander. Keep aside.
- Heat oil in a pan on medium heat. Add the chopped green chilies and fry for 1 minute.
- Add the drained chickpeas along with the roasted cumin, roasted coriander, black salt, aamchur powder and chaat masala. Saute for 2 minutes on medium low heat.
- Add water, then mix well. Cover and cook on medium low heat for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, mash some of the chickpeas using a potato masher to make the consistency thick and well incorporated. Mix well and let cook uncovered for a minute, then turn off heat.
- Serve in bowls. Add your favourite chutneys and toppings.
Notes
If you like your chhole saucier, add more water. In that case cook for a minute or two longer at step 5.
