Namaste,
I am Nisha Madhulika.
Today we'll make matar ke chole.
We will not use ghee or oil in making them.
But these chole will taste great.
And while eating you won't recognize that it is made without ghee and oil.
Let's start!
Take 1 cup of dry peas, wash them and soak them in water
for 6-7 hours.
Can soak it overnight too.
Put it in the cooker to boil.
Pour 1 cup of water
and 1/2 cup of water.
Add 1.5 cups of water.
1 teaspoon of salt
or as per taste
and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda.
By adding baking soda peas boils perfectly
and it also enhances the taste.
Close the cooker,
turn on the flame
and boil it till one whistle.
The cooker has whistled.
Reduce the flame to low
and cook it at low flame for 5 minutes.
It has been 5 minutes,
turn off the flame
and let the pressure finish.
Till it opens
let's prepare the masala.
Take a pan,
turn on the flame.
Keep the flame low.
Do not put oil in it,
we are making it without oil.
So put
1.5 teaspoon of
coriander powder,
1/2 teaspoon of
turmeric powder,
1 teaspoon of cumin powder,
and 1/2 pinch
just a little asafoetida.
Take asafetida of good variety and add very little,
too much taste of asafetida doesn't taste good.
It should remain,
so that its flavor does not come separately.
Dry roast these spices.
We are roasting it at low flame,
spices should not get burned
just a little roasted.
Spices are roasted,
a good aroma is coming.
Now take 2 tomatoes,
1/2 inch of ginger
and 2 green chilies,
make a paste and put it in.
Reduce the flame to low-medium
and roast the paste with spices.
And 1 teaspoon of kashmiri red chilli powder.
It will bring a good taste to the chole,
good colour
and the chole will not be too spicy.
You can add more or less chilli as you like.
If you like more spicy,
then can add a little coarsely grounded red chilli.
Now roast the spices till it becomes thick.
Because there is no oil in it,
so no oil will be separated.
And see, the masala has thickened
and we roasted it at low-medium,
a very nice flavour will come.
A very good aroma is coming,
now add 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala.
And a little coriander leaves.
The masala is ready,
now check the chole.
The cooker is opening,
see the peas,
they are perfectly boiled.
You can see clearly
that the peas are completely soft.
Press a pea,
look, the peas have boiled and masala is also roasted.
Let's make chole now.
Pour boiled peas in the pan.
We added 1 teaspoon of salt in the peas,
that is sufficient for chole masala.
Can you tell that we haven't added oil in it.
They look a bit too thick,
add 1/2 cup of water more to it.
Now cook them at low flame
for 3-4 minutes.
All the peas will mix with spices completely.
After 4 minutes,
chole is cooked and ready.
See the consistency
is perfect.
Other than that you can make it thin or thick
as you like.
You can add more water now
because it gets more thick when it cools down.
Take them out.
Garnish it with coriander leaves.
Matar ke no-oil chole is ready.
And see it looks so tempting
and tasty.
You can serve it with rice, chapati and anything that you like.
You will love it.
You won't face any problem in making it.
Do soak the peas in water for 6-7 hours.
If you'll add a little baking soda while boiling it,
then peas will boil quickly and soft.
Roast the masala
and mix the boiled peas in it.
And add water according to how thick or thin you want it.
You must make and have it
