Everyone can experience a stressful workday. We simply don't have time for a break till the workday is over, whether we are working from home or heading to the office. The only peaceful moment we have is lunch or dinner. When we eat something, we usually incline towards our comfort food, and what comfort food is better than white chickpeas? The chickpea/white chana is a well-liked legume that we frequently eat with our meals. Foodies can't get enough of this ingredient, which is typically consumed in the form of delectable curry! Do you know that you can have this ingredient in different ways? We either have chole with rice or bhature but there are several other ways too in which you can relish this.
Here are some ways in which you can enjoy chole-
Chole
This dish is cooked with a wide variety of ingredients including bay leaf, cinnamon, cumin seeds, cloves, whole peppercorns, and green and black cardamom. We all love chole chawal or chole bhature. This chickpea curry is the original way to eat chole. You can play around with different ingredients and add your own personal touch to this dish.
Who doesn't enjoy burgers? Nevertheless, there are just two vegetarian burger options: aloo and paneer. But have you tried chole burger? This dish is available at all the chaat corners in which they add chole to your burger buns and top it off with some imli chutney and chopped onions. So the next time you crave burgers, go to your nearest chaat shop and try this dish.
Chole samosa chaat
This delectable chaat is made up of crumbled samosas covered in yoghurt, sweet-and-sour sauces, and chole. It is such a wholesome dish which will melt in your mouth with a burst of different tangy and sweet flavours. This recipe is indeed a comfort food for all chaat lovers.
Chole chicken
Both chicken and chole are highly popular foods. Why not combine their passion for these two mouthwatering dishes? Chole chicken, a Punjabi delicacy, reflects this precise scenario. It goes well with rice or roti. Soft chickpeas are deliciously intermingled with chicken chunks. It has a strong and spicy flavour which is lip-smackingly delicious.
Hummus
This delicious dip from the Mediterranean is extremely well-liked in the West. Making hummus is very simple; all you need to do is blend cooked chole with seasoning. Steamed vegetables can be dipped in this dip to make a nutritious snack.
