Tava Chole - Cooking With Sapana

Tava Chole is a delicious chickpea cooked on the tava or iron griddle with tomato,onion and spices.The sizzling sound of chole , the turning and tossing and the crispy papdis when served with chole makes that crunchy sound makes it a mouthwatering snack.

The recipe is from the e book “Kadhai and Tava” by Tarla Dalal and is a perfect snack or light meal.I normally cook chole bhature, amritsari chole,chana pindi or sometimes masala chole with rice .But this version of the chole tasted very unique and serving with the papdis take the taste to another level.This recipe is for second week of Feb month’s CCChallenge.http://cooking4allseasons.blogspot.com/p/ccchallenge.html
