    Amritsari Chole Recipe - Amritsari Chana Masala with step wise pictures. Delicious amritsari chole masala which is dark in colour. This taste so delicious with battura or roti.

    I wanted to try a dark coloured chole masala in which we use tea bags. Finally made it few days back and enjoyed it with roti. The chole had so much flavour and tasted delicious. This time i used chana masala to get the real taste of the chana.

    This is a quick version of chana masala. I added some basic spices and masalas and taste just yummy.This is a simple curry which taste really delicious. It is simple to make and goes great with roti, chapati, phulka, ghee rice or pulao.

    I made some black tea, strained it and used that in this recipe. If you have those tea bags, throw few when cooking chana in the pressure cooker. The more tea bags you add the more black your chana will be. But dont use too much, else your chana will be bitter.

    Hope you will give this try and let me know how it turns out for you.
