Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. Open the chickpea cans and drain the excess water using a colander. Keep aside.
  2. Heat oil in a pan on medium heat. Add the chopped green chilies and fry for 1 minute.
  3. 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.
  4. Add water, then mix well. Cover and cook on medium low heat for 5 minutes.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
