• Cinnamon - 1 piece.
• Red chilli - 1-2 numbers.
• Mustard seed - 2 teaspoons.
• Bay leaf - 1-3 numbers.
• Mango powder (aamchur) - 1/4 tea spoon.
• Black pepper - 1/2 tea spoon.
• Garam masala - 1 tea spoon.
• Clove - 2 piece.
• Clove - 2-3 clove.
• Eating soda - 1/2 tea spoon.
• Fenugreek seed - 1 teaspoons.
• Ghee - 2 teaspoons.
• Ginger - 1 piece.

• Tomato (chopped) - 1/2 cup.
• Zeera - 1 tea spoon.
• Rajma - 50 grams.
• Tea powder - 2 teaspoons.
• Potato - 3 numbers.
• Salt - to taste.
Method:
  • In a big vessel pour water, add eating soda and salt. Now add kabuli channa and rajma. Soak this overnight.
  • Next morning in that same water, drop a small pouch (potali) containing tea leaves.
  • Cook this chana, rajma mix along with tea leaves pouch till channa and rajma becomes soft. When cooked discard the tea leaves pouch.
  • Prepare another dry-wet paste out of cloves, (dalchini), black pepper, two green chilies, and ginger.
  • Mix this dry-wet fine paste with cooked channa and rajma. Take care that this masala is just mixed not kept in flame.
  • Take an iron kadhai (iron kadhai will give a special flavor) or a deep pan. Pour left- out water from cooked channa and rajma, now keep the pan to flame.
  • Now add that dry Masala, garam masala, annardana paste, amchur powder, black pepper powder to that left-out water. Sim down the flame to in between low and warm.
  • Cook all ingredients till water evaporates and masala stick to the channa and rajma. This is very very important for next step.
  • In the pan, itself spread the cooked chhole to corners, make a space in the center of the pan.
  • In a separate regular pan heat ghee till you see smoke and your smoke alarms you.
  • Pour this ghee in the (made) center space in the iron deep pan, and cover it with chole. Warm it with closed lid for a while.
  • Decorate with slices of potato, tomatoes, and long cut green chili.
