Chole Bathura.....Punjabi street food

I love Punjab and it's street food! My fiend from Punjb taught me this recipe

Chole Bathura is a comforting spicy food that is easy to make and make your body warm...

For CHOLE:

450g Chickpeas                                 

1 onion  chopped

3 bay leaves                

2 tsp cumin seeds             

5 garlic chopped

1 piece ginger chopped (2.5 cm)

200 grams tomato puree

salt

1.5 tsp red chili powder  or more depending on your taste

 1 tsp turmeric powder                         

 1 tsp garam masala                              

1 green chili chopped                                    

 chopped cilantro for garnishing

oil or ghee

Soak the chickpeas overnight, and cook them. Let aside.

Heat oil, and sautee the onion, garlic and ginger. Add salt, and bay leaves, let it simmer for 3 minutes. Add the turmeric, garam masala, and chili powder. Let it cook for 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste or puree. Let it simmer for 4 minutes. Add the chickpeas, the green chili, and let it simmer for 10 minutes. With a fork, you can mash some chickpeas to make the chole thicker. Enjoy!
