ABOUT Amritsari Chole RECIPE

Amritsari Chole - A simple curry that uses loads of tomatoes and whole spices to get the authentic flavour. It is often paired with Bhature or deep fried fermented flat bread. However, it goes equally well with cumin fried rice, Kulcha or stuffed and baked flat bread or Paratha. It has to be a comfort food and real flavour comes from the souring ingredient. Authentic sourness is brought with help of anardana or dried pomegranate seeds. However, you can also use dried mango powder or aamchur Some even use dried amla or gooseberries.
