Tips and Suggestions by Mom Chef:-

• You can boil the chole/chickpeas with a tea bag or a few pieces of dry amla/gooseberry or you can make a potli of chai patti/tea leaves and put it in a pressure cooker along with chole. This process will impart a nice colour to the chole.
• If you do not have tamarind pulp, you can use amchur powder/dry mango powder. Cook it with water and some spices. This will give a tangy taste to the chole.
• You can avoid onion if you want.
• You can adjust spices according to your taste.
• Do add black salt as it gives a nice taste to the dish.
