What's on Your Plate? Day #10 Aloo Tikki Chole Chaat

One of those days when its pouring outside and the craving for Chaat hits in. Well, we don't need an excuse to make chaat...ever! :D This Aloo Tikki Chole Chaat was heart warming and definitely a treat to the tummy. If you have canned chickpeas on hand, this is a fairly quick fix! 



Chole Masala:

2 (8oz) can chickpeas
1 tsp Oil
Salt to taste

To grind:
1/4 cup of cooked channa
1/4 tsp Turmeric
2 tsp Red chili powder (adjust to taste)
2 tbsp Corriander seeds
1/4 cup onion, cubed
4 pods Garlic, chopped
1” piece Ginger, chopped
1/4 tsp Black pepper powder
1/2 tsp Garam masala
2-3 curry leaves
A fistful fresh cilantro
4 Green chilies

Empty the chickpeas with liquid into a large pan. Bring to a simmering boil and turn off heat. Drain and set aside. If using soaked chickpeas, boil, drain and set aside.

Grind listed ingredients in a blender to a smooth paste. Heat oil in a pan. Add the ground paste and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the drained chickpeas and season with salt. Mix well and bring to a simmering boil. Turn off heat and use as needed.
