Recipe: Pindi Chole recipe-Pindi Chana recipe-Kalimirchbysmita-Ep320
Makes: 3-4
Preparation Time: 60 mins
Cooking Time: 15 mins


Ingredients:
1) 1 Cup=200gms Garbanzo beans-soaked in salted water overnight, drain the excess water
2) 1 Large=125gms Boiled Potatoes
3) 2 tsp tea leaf
4) 1-inch Cinnamon stick
5) 1 Black Cardamom
6) 3 Green Cardamom
7) 4-5 Cloves
8) 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
9) 2 Green Chilies-slit
10) 1-inch Ginger root-grated
11) 1 tsp Red Chili Powder
12) 1 tsp Garam Masala Powder
13) 1 tsp dry Coriander Powder
14) 1 tsp dry Mango Powder
15) 1 tbsp dried Pomegranate seeds powder (roasted and powdered)
16) Salt
17) Cooking Oil


Steps:
1) We will boil the Chana first. Make a spice bag. Take a piece of cloth. Put spices and tea leaf and tie it into a bag. You can also use unflavored tea bag. In a pressure cooker, put soaked Chana
2) Add Salt. Mix well. Put Spice bag. Cover with lid and Pressure cook. Pressure cook on high for 1 whistle and on medium heat for 2 whistles
3) Allow the pressure to release normally before opening the lid. Remove cooked Chana from Pressure Cooker and reserve water
4) In a large bowl, put boiled Kabuli Chana. Add boiled potato cubes, Red Chili powder, Coriander Powder, Garam masala Powder, dried Pomegranate seeds powder and dry mango powder. Add some Salt and mix well.
5) Now, we will prepare for a Tadka. Heat 3 tbsp Cooking Oil. Add Cumin Seeds. Add sliced Green Chilies and grated ginger. Pour this Tadka on Chana. Cover and leave side for an hour
6) In a Pan, add Kabuli Chana. Add 1 Cup water (reserved while boiling Kabuli Chana). Allow the curry to boil on high heat
7) Lower the heat and cook until water is reduced completely. Keep stirring intermittently.
8) We have cooked for 10 mins on low heat. Water has reduced completely and Chole are well coated in masala. Switch off the heat and serve hot


We have not used Onions, Garlic and Tomatoes while making Pindi Chana. You can serve Onion slices, tomato slices, green chili as an accompaniment. Serve with Roti/Parathas/Steamed Rice

We have soaked Kabuli Chana for 9-10 hours. Atleast soak Kabuli Chana for 6 Hours. If you forgot to soak Kabuli Chana, then here is a tip.

Take Kabuli Chana in a large vessel filled with water and put it to boil. As the water begins to boil, switch off the heat and cover the Kabuli Chana vessel. Soak in this hot water for 2 hours. This quick soaking will get Kabuli Chana ready for this recipe.
