Do you like to know, how to make Amritsari Pindi Chole Recipe?. My very special no-oil Pindi chole tastes better than that of any Dhaba! The secret? Freshly roasted and ground spices and slow steeping of the flavors.
Soak the chickpeas overnight or for 6 hours in plenty of water. Finely chop the onion and the green chillies.
Pressure-cook the chickpeas with the teabag, soda, salt, bay leaf, cinnamon, black cardamoms and chopped onion in 6 cups water till the chickpeas are done.
Add the roasted spices to the boiled chickpeas. Add the ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chillies.
Cover and cook the chickpeas on very low heat for 40-45 minutes, until the flavours blend well. Add the tamarind paste and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Serve hot with bhature or poori.
