    Chole (Curried Garbanzos),This is a very popular Punjabi dish (Punjab is a state in North India). For more information on some of the Indian spices used in this recipe, refer to . This recipe is posted by request, from “Vegetable Delights” by Malini Bisen.,i didn’t think potato gels so well with the chickpeas. tomato would be better suited. i would also add some tamarind to lend it some zip.,I halved this recipe and made this yesterday for lunch to serve as a main dish with hot rotis. I had soaked the chickpeas overnight and I did not go for canned chickpeas. used 2 1/2 cups of water to bring this to a boil(with reference to step 9 in the recipe) as 1/2 cup was very little – it was more of a dry chole dish with only 1/2 a cup of water. Most importantly, Punjabi food is “heavily” spiced up and “must” be very “khatta” to be authentic Punjabi food. Being the daughter of a Punjabi woman, I can swear that I have eaten alot of Punjabi food and it’s always been very “tikha”(spicy) and “khatta”(Sorry, I’m not able to get the English word for khatta right now) – these are 2 prime requirements for a dish to be called a Punjabi dish other than it being bursting with flavour! This recipe uses a minimum of all the spices and it really wasn’t khatta at all and hence the taste was not as I’d expected. I added 1/2 a tsp. more of amchur powder but it didn’t work out. My mom told me that her sis makes excellent Punjabi chole and she uses a combo of both amchur powder and tamarind pulp – and she’s married to a Punjabi man too and is a pickle expert:) I’m sorry I’m not able to give 5 stars to this dish, though, personally, I “did” like the idea of using only 1/2 a tbsp. of oil in it. It really has to be more spicier and more khatta to be tasty and Punjabi food, both. My mom suggests you add more tamarind pulp and mango(amchur) powder as well as some tomatoes(peeled and chopped) to this to make it really tasty and a meal to remember.
