2.      add whole garam masala .
3.      add Punjabi chole masala (packet) or coriander pwdr,red chilli pdwr, turmeric powder, jeera powder, garam masala powder and tomatoes/ paste
4.      add the chole  and salt .
5.      Cook till done .

oh in this recipe we have omitted the fact that the chickpeas need to be soaked before , ideally a day before( but thats allrite, im getting a woderful recipe from sunaina.)then washed and pressure cooked, to save on heat , light , energy costs. for those guys like us in hotels, boil, boil boil, in a pot, sometimes with the addition of a few tea bags, adds to colour thats all.

in case all of u guys are confused thats allrite , that was the aim in any case. quanties are not mentioned because you shld know all these things, and unless you play along tweak things a few times its not gonna come out right.??
