AMRITSARI CHOLE MASALA/AMRITSARI CHANNA MASALA

AMRITSARI CHOLE MASALA/AMRITSARI CHANNA MASALA Amritsari Chole are traditional Amritsar style spicy Chole Recipe made using freshly ground chole masala. The curry has a slightly darker hue due to tea bags that are used while boiling the chole . This taste so delicious with battura or roti. I made some black tea, strained it and used that in this recipe. If you have those tea bags, throw few when cooking chana in the pressure cooker. The more tea bags you add the more black your chana will be. But don't use too much, else your chana will be bitter. Hope you will give this try and let me know how it turns out for you.
