Chick peas(Kabuli chana) - 2 small bowls

Tomato –     2 medim sized

Onion –        1 big size

Green chillies- 2

Ginger-         1”

Garlic pods-  6-7

Coriander-   1 bunch

Bay leaves- 2

Cloves -2

Black pepper- 6-7

Cumin – 1 tsp

Cinnamon-3 small sticks

Black Cardamom- 2

Chole Masala – 1 tsp

Tamarind pulp- 2 tsp

Dry coriander powder -1tsp

Turmeric powder- 1 tsp

Goda masala – 1tsp

Soak the chickpeas overnight. After washing it thoroughly, put it in a small cooker for cooking, put cinnamon and black cardamom.  For the gravy,my method is to take a little bit of oil and put all the ingredients one by one and fry till golden brown. Grind the mixture along with two tsp of cooked chickpeas  in a mixer-grinder to fine paste.Take 3 tablespoons of oil and fry the paste till oil leaves the surface. Add the cooked chick peas along with water, sprinkle chole masala and put it on a low heat for 10 mins. Garnish with coriander and raw onions.(optional) I have used only coriander...

* Grinding the boiled peas gives u a thick consistency to the gravy..which is my personal fav.
