How to Make Peshawari Chole
HideShow Media1.
Soak the chickpeas and dal overnight or for at least 6-8 hours in plenty of water. Rinse them thoroughly before cooking.

In a pressure cooker, add the soaked chickpeas and dal, enough water to cover them, and a pinch of salt. Cook until the chickpeas are soft.
3.
Drain the cooked chickpeas and dal and set them aside.
4.
Heat the cooking oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
5.
Add the finely chopped onions and saute until they turn golden brown.
6.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and green chilies. Saute for a couple of minutes until the raw smell disappears.

Add the finely chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
8.
Add the spices and salt. Mix well and cook for a few minutes until the spices are aromatic.

Add the cooked chickpeas and dal and mix them with the spicy tomato mixture. Allow the chickpeas to simmer in the gravy for about 10-15 minutes. Add some water if the gravy becomes too thick.
