Punjabi Chole
Punjabi chole cooked with tea leaves, gives a dark color to the chole. Usually it's served along with poori or batura or roti. I have used mustard oil to cook chole, but if one doesn't prefer mustard oil, then use ghee or any other vegetable oil.
Ingredients
1/2 tsp - red chili powder
2 big - Onion, chopped
1.5 tsp - Jeera /cumin seeds
