I added paprika powder instead of the chilli powder. Loved the colour of the chhole. Never got this colour before.<br />Thanks a ton.<br />cheers,<br />UshaUsha D'Silva Regohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10955387348243574217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693082713303047231.post-34940378971066727702011-10-19T18:54:25.237-06:002011-10-19T18:54:25.237-06:00Prathima, thank you.

I wish I made bhature more often, but I don't because of the deep frying. <br /><br />Phil, haha :-) But I know what you mean. Indian grandmas can be notoriously secretive about their recipes, and they don't like sharing. <br /><br />Cathy, thank you. I think you'll enjoy this dish, and we have another class coming very soon, which I will let you know about. I also offer private lessons, if you care for them instead :-)<br /><br />Asiya, I love your blog. Thanks for dropping by mine. I love chole too, which is why I tried so much to get it right. <br /><br />Jane, welcome to the blog, and yes, mango powder is definitely an essential in this dish. You could have a look at some of my other Indian recipes, some of them use mango powder. <br /><br />Melissa, good luck. I know chickpeas are not to everyone's taste, but you could try the curry base with some other kind of bean too. And yes, I am a very determined (stubborn mule) person. <br /><br />MoAT, my pleasure, I enjoy it and I always find something in there I love. <br /><br />Shaheen, that's a pity, because I do love your curries. Glad to know you'll like the recipe, its easy enough to put together, but tastes so good.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14329905866291793180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693082713303047231.post-4854719591078536952011-10-14T13:31:14.401-06:002011-10-14T13:31:14.401-06:00Someone told me it was National Curry Week in the ...Someone told me it was National Curry Week in the U.K, but I am so distracted that sadly curry will not be a feature on my blog this week :(<br /><br />I love chickpeas cooked any way and this recipe is just up my street.Shaheenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602971207085826708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693082713303047231.post-79476371205635963232011-10-14T07:21:03.795-06:002011-10-14T07:21:03.795-06:00Thanks so much for joining my Weekend Wonders blog...Thanks so much for joining my Weekend Wonders blog party last week.

But this made me laugh because I'm so similar... very dogged at figuring things out and I get so silly excited when I finally get it! It's so satisfying. And I'm really craving a good Indian meal. It's been too long :(Melissa@EyesBiggerhttp://www.eyesbiggerthanmystomach.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693082713303047231.post-66198723189947339212011-10-13T03:57:53.592-06:002011-10-13T03:57:53.592-06:00Thanks for that - at last something I can do with ...Thanks for that - at last something I can do with the mango powder I bought in a fit of absentmindedness recently!

They're actually made by the stallholder's granny and she only makes them when she feels like it and tells no-one the recipe. I'd never thought of chaat masala. Thanks for the map, Dora - I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map etc etc.Phil in the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904292856978631382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693082713303047231.post-14687397586005639042011-10-12T11:45:20.472-06:002011-10-12T11:45:20.472-06:00A spicy, mouthwatering gravy!!!!
