Instructions to make Punjabi Chole Bhature:
- In a pressure cooker add soaked chick peas, salt, bay leaf & water. Boiled it to 5-6 whistled till they become soft & melt in mouth. Boil timing may vary depend on chick peas or soaking time. Once done separate the water & chickpeas and keep them aside.
- In a kadhai, heat the mustard oil & ghee. Add the whole garam masalas, dry red chili & cumin seed. Fry them till they are fragrant. Add chopped onion, sugar & fry until onion becomes golden brown in color. Add ginger-garlic paste, green chili paste and saute for few minutes. Then add the tomato puree and fry for a few minutes. Add powder spices, salt & saute for 4-5 minutes until the masala releases oil. Add the stock water in between if the masala sticks to pan.
- Now add boiled chickpeas & give it a good mix. Add the remaining stock of water. Add Kasuri methi powder. Simmer the gravy on a medium flame for 10-15 minutes until the gravy becomes thick. With the help of a spoon mash, some chickpeas will help to thicken the gravy. Dilute the tamarind paste with water & add it into the gravy. Give a good mix & switch off the flame. Chole Masala is ready to serve.
