Spicy Choley Recipe is my all time favorite dish. It can be eaten for breakfast as well as for lunch or dinner. This is a chickpea curry served with fried mixed grain pooris or boiled rice.
In an age of overindulgence, this silky smooth onion and tomato gravy with chickpeas nestling in it is a perennial favorite. This is so loved by the Indian community, that you can easily found in every corner of India. Be it any occasion, festival or parties or day to day life, if you don’t want to cook can be easily found as most eatable street food.
There are many ways to cook Spicy Choley but the method I used to cook is easy and quick. There is no need to add gazillion ingredients and complicate this recipe. You just need to chop onion, ginger, and garlic finely. Trust me you will be overwhelmed when you munch this up with hot buttered nan or bhatura or jeera rice.
Here is a simple step by step recipe that will definitely activate your taste buds.

Choley-chawal my favrt. 🙂
One of my favorite Punjabi dishes is Chole – a high protein classic recipe with heady flavors. I love the texture and combination of spices that go into its making. The addition of one of my favorite flavors, anardana, adds a tangy punch to the nuttiness of chickpeas.Goes great with Bhatura, puri or rice.
I too like choley. Who doesn’t? Next time I’m sure going to try this recipe and update you as well!
Cheers
