Shahi Chole Masala

Everyone in my house loves chole and since they are also a great source of protein, I end up making them at least once a week. The recipes I usually use to make Chole are either Pindi Chana Masala or Chole in an onion tomato gravy. This time I gave a little twist to my regular recipe and made Shahi Chole instead.

Shahi Chole is rich, creamy and this gravy has been enriched with Khoya and milk and a little lemon juice and honey at the end, gave it a wonderful taste and flavor. The recipe was very well appreciated and now I have another winner in my collection. Do try this Shahi Chole masala to give a change to your regular Chole gravy.

Have it with Zaffrani Pilaf, Butter and Garlic Naan or Bakarkani Roti. Here is the recipe.
