Chole For Sunday(Chick pea Curry)
Chole was our weekend special. This stood always our special dish. This goes well with Puri famous as Chole Batura or with chapathi and also with plain rice. This dishIused to prepare before by adding chole masala which we get from out side.But now to avoid that, I started adding masala from my kitchen. This tastes little different from the one in which chole masala is added. You can always add that when ever you want.But this is my my version of recipe.Hope you will all like this too:-)
