Palak Chole curry -
• To make Palak Chole Recipe first clean, wash and soak chickpeas in water overnight or at least 5 - 6 hours.
• While chickpea is soaked make puree of tomato and green chili using 2 - 3 tablespoon of water in blender.
• Heat a teaspoon of oil in a pan; add in the chopped spinach and sautee until the spinach is soft and tender. Keep this aside. - 4
Note: We cook the spinach separately from the chola, as the cooking times for the chickpeas and spinach are very different. Spinach takes a couple of minutes, while the chola/ chickpeas take 20 to 30 minutes.
- 5
In a pressure cooker heat oil over medium heat, once oil is heated add in the bay leaf and cardamom pods; saute for 1 minute or until spices start releasing aroma.
• Now add in chopped onion, ginger and garlic and saute over medium heat until onion turn light brown in color. - 6
Once onion is ready add tomato puree, salt, turmeric powder, garam masala, coriander powder, red chili powder until you see the mixture coming together and thickening a little bit. Add the chickpeas along with the water it was soaked in into the masala and stir well. Add in additional water so that the water level is at least 2 inches above the soaked chola/ chickpeas.

Give it a good stir and cover the pressure cooker and place its weight on. Cook the chola in the pressure cooker until you hear 4 to 5 whisles. After 4 to 5 whistles, turn the heat to low and simmer the chola for another 15 minutes and then turn off the heat.
- 8
Allow the pressure to release naturally. This will take another 15 minutes. Once the pressure releases naturally, open the cooker, add in the sauteed spinach and give it a good stir.
• Check the salt and spice levels and adjust to suit your taste. Gently mash the chickpeas little bit with the back of the ladle to thicken the gravy little bit and the Palak Chole is ready to be served. - 9
Serve it in your lunch box with the prepared chole palak curry & roti

Palak Kofta / Spinach Balls Curry Palak Kofta / Spinach Balls Curry
I had made this Palak kofta curry for dinner last night. Koftas turned out really delicious. My son gobbled up a couple of koftas just like that... said they tasted good as is and didn't want to wait until the curry was ready. The spices in the gravy were well balanced. Koftas had a thin crispy covering with soft flavourful center..Flashback⏪, my mom used to make palak kofta curry when I was a little girl. My last attempt at making these koftas was way back in 2001. As a newly-wed I wanted to impress hubby dear.😉 Needless to say, the curry did not turn out the way I had imagined or remembered how it tasted when mom made. Unfortunately, picking up phone & making a call across oceans, every time I attempted something to cook was not an option back then...blame it on time zone difference and high international call rates.😆.Current day⏩, years of experience and confidence in my cooking skills and a zeal for variety in my meals got me to making these palak koftas again. I must say, they turned out so delicious that I'm already thinking about other vegetables that can be used to making koftas..This is my contribution to the second phase of #itsprocessoverproduct.To see more of my work, follow onInstagram- @TheRedPlateChroniclesFacebook - TheRedPlateChroniclesWordpress - http://theredplatechronicles.home.blogLoveM❤️

Chickpea Curry Chickpea Curry
This is a very fragrant dish and if you don't have whole spices such as cinnamon sticks, you can use ground (so you don't have to worry whether they'll get in your bowl). However, I find that whole cardamom pods and fresh ginger are a must
