Punjabi Sukhe Chole is my recent possession of recipe from my Mother In Law. This recipe is tangy, spicy and made with least effort. Serve it along with rice or Puri or Bhature. In my house hold I like to serve it in brunch as it really is such a fulfilling meal. So tasty with lots and lots of garlic flavor and green chili; bursting with flavor. This post is an extended version of my favorite Ma’s recipe.
It has this natural dark color as very little turmeric is used. Specially liked the tangy flavor which goes so well with puri, rice or even bhature. Do you like chole, how do you like to make them.
Here are some easy and delicious recipes which you can try from boiled chole/chickpeas-
