DC Chef's Tips for Chole Masala (Chickpea Curry)
  • The darker the onions, the richer the gravy — do not rush this step.
  • Use the cooking water from chickpeas for extra flavor in the gravy.
  • Mash 2-3 tbsp of chickpeas and stir back in to naturally thicken the gravy.
  • Serve with bhatura, kulcha, or rice.
