Dum Chatpata Aloo Chole Curry

Pressure-cook the soaked chickpeas until tender but intact. Reserve some cooking liquid.

Heat the oil. Add 1 tsp of Ember Crest Whole Cumin Seeds and dried red chillies.

Add the onions and cook until golden. Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chillies and cook for 1 minute.

Add the tomato puree, ½ tsp of Ember Crest Turmeric Powder, 1 tsp of Ember Crest Kashmiri Lal Mirch and half the salt. Bhuno until glossy.

Mix 18 g–20 g of Ember Crest Dum Chatpata Meat Masala with 4 tbsp water. Add and cook on low heat for 1–2 minutes.

Add the potato cubes and 150 ml hot water. Cover and cook for 7–8 minutes.

Add the cooked chickpeas, remaining salt and enough cooking liquid to make a generous gravy.

Cover and simmer for 15–18 minutes, lightly pressing a few chickpeas against the pan to give the gravy body.

Rest for 5 minutes, finish with coriander and serve with rice, roti or poori.
