 Amritsari Chhole, Straight from the Dhabas!

1. Perfectly Cooked Chickpeas: Begin by draining and rinsing the chickpeas soaked overnight. Pressure cook them with water and salt until they’re soft and tender—this takes about 15-20 minutes. These chickpeas form the hearty base of your Amritsari chhole.

2. Create the Signature Masala Base: Heat oil in a pan and sauté the finely chopped onions until golden brown. Add in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for a minute. Stir in the pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil separates, ensuring your masala base has that authentic depth of flavour.

3. The Amritsari Touch with Nuvi’s Masala: Add Nuvi’s Chhole Masala to the pan, along with Nuvi’s Turmeric Powder and Nuvi’s Red Chilli Powder. Let the spices cook for 2-3 minutes, releasing their rich aroma and infusing the masala with the unmistakable taste of Amritsar’s dhabas.

4. Combine & Simmer: Add the cooked chickpeas to the masala, stirring them until they’re fully coated. Simmer for 10-15 minutes to let the flavours meld together, creating a dish that’s bursting with flavour. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
