Steps

1
Done

In a pressure cooker, add the overnight-soaked chana, salt, black cardamom, bay leaves, and plenty of water. Cook it for 5-6 whistles.
Once cooked, strain the chole into a bowl and remove all the dry spices. Next, grind some of the boiled chana along with its cooking water and set it aside.

2
Done

For the salad, combine chana with diced cucumber, tomato, onions, potato, green chilies, pomegranate, chopped coriander, roasted ground cumin, chaat masala, salt, black salt, and sugar (optional). Finally, drizzle with lemon juice and toss to mix well. Enjoy!

3
Done

For the soup, heat some oil in a pan, then add whole cumin seeds and cloves, tempering until they crackle. Add sliced onions, roughly chopped ginger, garlic, and green chilies. When the onions become translucent, stir in turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chili, and the reserved chana water. Once the soup is boiling, add the ground chana mixture and cook it until you reach your desired consistency. Adjust the seasonings as needed, then strain the soup and serve it warm.
