And instead of using canned chickpeas that come with harmful chemicals, soak your chickpeas over night and I like to sprout them to remove the enzyme inhibitors in the seed and release the nutrition :)
The key to authentic chole is the chana masala You do NOT add garam masala tot his; the taste is different.
Chana masala: 3-4 cloves, 2 medium sticks of cinnamon, 3-4 pods of cardamom, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1 tsp cumin powder, 1 tsp amchur (dried mango seed) powder, 2-3 Kashmiri Red Chilles, 1 tsp pomogranate seeds and 1/2 a tsp of Turmeric all dry ground makes chana masala: Use 1 Tbsp of this in ur rcp
Tasty. I just made it. The only different thing I did was to puree the curry before adding the chick peas. Nice take. I love trying different versions of this dish. :)
Great video I just found you drag things out a lot. With cooking videos they have to get straight to the point otherwise they get boring especially if you watch it more then once.
I just wanted you to know that My wife Mindy and I had never ever in our lives, made / cooked any kind of Indian dish until today.. (Fri. Jan. 8th,2010) We went to Macy's a few days ago and bought our first pressure cooker, it's a 4QT. size - the smallest. My wife & I followed your recipe 99% of the way. We found out that we didn't care for "Hing" WOW!! very strong / unique sent. But everything else we included, served w/ Basmati rice. We loved it..
Good job! A bit of advice: next time, please have the camera person take a closer shot of your ingredients and/or respective packaging. Many of us don't have a good idea of the ingredients unique to indian cookery and visuals should complement your commentary. A moot point perhaps, but the chickpeas come tinned or dried. In India, chickpeas are soaked and cooked under pressure. You should point this out. Good luck!
hey, i agree with you that ginger should go right after the onions and spices shoukld follow soon after that to release the aroma . nevertheless it loos nice.
Nice work, we liked your video very much so we embedded it on ChefCommons . com w/ link back and reference to Youtube. (Let us know if you don't wish for it to be featured)
I'm certainly no expert, but if you're gonna put that ginger in right at the end, you're Nuts, Lady. It should go in along with the garlic, and in approximately equal amounts. Garlic and ginger are best friends, like cumin and coriander. The hole point of the oil is to bring out the spices, and each spice takes its own time to release. The vegetables stop the process so they don't burn. And you should have let those onions brown for a good long while. Six minutes? Ha! Try twenty!
You know your curry!!! I agree with everything, nevertheless indian food is about creating it to your own taste. Each family cooks each differently but uses the same ingredients. Some people like the bite of ginger so they don't fry it long or add it toward the end. :)
you have nice english accent..

Nice video, friendly and personable chef.
As for the recipe, here is my 2 cents worth:
The key to authentic chole is the chana masala You do NOT add garam masala tot his; the taste is different.
Chana masala: 3-4 cloves, 2 medium sticks of cinnamon, 3-4 pods of cardamom, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1 tsp cumin powder, 1 tsp amchur (dried mango seed) powder, 2-3 Kashmiri Red Chilles, 1 tsp pomogranate seeds and 1/2 a tsp of Turmeric all dry ground makes chana masala: Use 1 Tbsp of this in ur rcp

Cumin seeds... add a lot of flavor, but are awful to bite into. Could we just use cumin powder?

And you don't have to cook onions long if they are sliced, but diced does take forever.
