| Method |
|
Soak the chhole overnight. Pressure cook/boil the soaked chhole with enough water and a pinch of soda bicarbonate. Do not boil the chanas completely. Slice the onion and tomaotes. Soak the ginger juliennes in 2 tbsp of lemon juice and keep aside.
|
In a small muslin cloth, tie together the black cardamoms, cinnamon, cloves, crushed ginger and tea leaves to make a small potli (pouch).
Add 2 tbsp of hot oil into the partially cooked chana along with the potli. Cover and simmer until cooked. Remove and keep aside. (See that the chanas do not get over cooked or else they will get mashed).
For the tempering, heat about 2 tbsp of oil in a deep bottomed pan.
