Punjabi Chole Masala


For the final day of gourmet gravies in Blogging Marathon#65 is a simple and aromatic, chole masala.
I have already shared a version of channa/chole masala with no onion and garlic here.
This version is slightly different and used freshly ground spice powder.
Also I boiled the chickpeas/channa with tea bag to get a nice dark colored gravy.Off to the recipe.....
