Chole (Jain - ish)

Well we dont eat onion or garlic at home so all of my recipes are Jain (for the onion garlic part)

Ingredients

5 Cups cooked Garbanzo /Chick Pea (See notes below)

2 Cups Tomatoes

3 Green peppers (Serranos work fine)

1 cup Fresh Coriander/Cilanthro

1 tbsp Garam masala

2 tbsp Chole masala (Most indian stores carry them)

1 tsp Oil

1 tsp Salt

Procedure

Grind Tomatoes, Cilantro (leave some for garnishing) , Green peppers, and some cooked chole.

Adding the cooked chole to the base gives it the consistency that sautéed onions would give.

In a deep pan take the oil. Once oil is hot add the ground paste to the pan and simmer with lid for 5 minutes. You might not notice the oil float (since we are not using much)

Add the cooked beans into the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes. Add the garam masala, chole masala and salt and cook for another 5 minutes.

Garnish with Chopped Cilantro.
