Chick Pea curry is also a punjabi dish and usually had with either puri or rice. I had a party last night at my place and i made puri- chhole which my friends thoroughly enjoyed!!

Here's the recipe.

Method:

2) Meanwhile in a grinder add tomatoes, ginger, garlic, green chilis and cilantro. Grind them together to form a chunky paste.

3) Add this paste to the onions in the pan and let it cook until it starts to leave oil. Then, add garam masala, turmeric powder, cumin, chili powder and salt.
