Chole Masala is a popular North Indian dish known for its rich and robust flavors. It is made primarily with chickpeas (also known as chole or garbanzo beans) cooked in a spicy and tangy tomato-based gravy. The dish is typically seasoned with a blend of aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and dried mango powder (amchur).Onions, garlic, and ginger are often sautéed to form the base of the gravy, adding depth to the dish. Sometimes, ingredients like bay leaves, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom pods are also used to enhance the flavor profile. Chole Masala is usually served hot and garnished with fresh cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice for added freshness.
