Those are very easily available at our home. All we need is spices, what our India is famous for and but obvious Chole😜

Procedure:-

*Soak Chole in water for for 7-8 hours. Once is it done, cook it very well in a pressure cooker. 

*For Onion Tomato Paste-

In a hot tava (preferably iron one), heat up a oil. To it, add chopped onions tomatoes, all the spices ie. bay leaf, cinnamon, cloves, black pepper. Along with it, also add ginger and garlic. Fry all the ingredients really very well till it turns brown, and you get the aroma of all these flavours mixed together. 

Once all the ingredients are fried, turn off the flame. Let it cool to a room temperature. After cooling transfer it all to a mixy and make a smooth paste. Add water gradually. Try to keep it thick and smooth by texture. 

Once the paste is done, you can get a relief. You are done with almost half of the recipe. 

Lets get started:-

*Heat up a kadhai. To it add oil. Once, the oil is heated, add crushed bay leaf, mustard seeds, jeera, and hing (asafoetida). Stir it for few seconds and now it's a time to add the onion-tomato paste. 

*Put an entire paste into it. Fry the paste very well. To it, add haldi (turmeric powder) , masala or red chill powder, coriander powder, chole masala. Crush the kasuri methi and add it at the same time. Fry the paste till oil releases from it. 

*Now it is the time to add boiled chole. Add boiled chole. 

*Put in a water gradually and stir very well.  Add salt as per taste. You can add garam masala when it is about to cook. 

*As per the thickness of the gravy turn off the flame. 

Garnish it with finely chopped coriander leaves. 

Enjoy Chole Bhature.  One can also eat it with chapati or fulka. lt will really give you a comfort. 

Tip-  Always remember, keep tomatoes half the onions. Means if you take 2 onions, then, take only 1 tomato. Otherwise, gravy will turn out too tangy. 

Wasn't it really that simple! Once the paste is ready, you are done with almost half of the procedure.
