Uncover the soul of Punjab with this Pindi Chole recipe. Unlike typical chole, this rustic curry boasts a deep, intense flavour and minimal gravy. Chickpeas are slow-cooked for rich colour, then infused with a symphony of freshly roasted, aromatic spices, culminating in a bold, earthy finish. It perfectly complements bhature or kulchas, inviting you to savour every unique, savoury bite.
