Some interesting facts about the Pindi chana recipe:

• The original Pindi Chole recipe had come from a place known as Rawalpindi in Punjab, Pakistan. That’s how it came to be known as Pindi Chole recipe! • The onions are served raw with authentic Pindi Chole recipe and another interesting observation is that the recipe doesn’t require onions or tomatoes or any kind of sautéing! • Unlike other chickpea curries that comes with a thick gravy which is quite runny, the Pindi Chole recipe is quite dry! • The dry mango powder (amchur powder) and anardaana seeds (dry pomegranate seeds) are added to the recipe for sourness. It gives a distinct aroma and essence to the recipe and hence cannot eb skipped! • Another uniqueness of the curry is a reddish-brown colour of the chana, this comes by adding tea bags or dried gooseberry (amla) into the pressure cooker while boiling the chickpeas. Do try out this authentic restaurant-style Pindi Chole Missi Roti at home and serve hot with chopped onions, green chillies, lemon slices, ginger juliennes, and your choice of Indian bread for a special Sunday brunch!
