Chole goes well with roti/paratha/puri/rice or also standalone as a chat. I usually make it in large quantity so that I can use the left over in making ragada pattice which is also a hit in my household :)

Chole soaked overnight
After cooking for 20 minutes in pressure cooker.
2) Grate ingredients 2-5 separately and keep aside. You can also make a paste out of it grinding all together but personally I like it when they are added one by one.
3) Heat Oil and add bay leaf, cardamom and cinnamon. Roast so that they turn brown in color.
4) Add grated onion, green chilly and garlic. Keep frying for half an minute. As all the ingredients are grated, it doesn't take much time to change color.
5) Now add tomato and ginger. Mix well. Then add hing and kasuri methi. Mix and cover with a lid.
6) Open the cover and then add chole, mix well,add salt, turmeric and chilly powder and cover again for a minute.
7) Now add the water which was kept aside and mash some of the chole with the back of spoon so we get a thick gravy.
8) Cover again for 5-7 minutes. Let it simmer.
9) After opening, add garma masala, sugar and coriander leaves. Mix well.
