Chole masala, also known as chana masala or channay, is a popular Indian dish made with chickpeas, tomatoes, and a blend of spices. Pair with Poori/Rice/Roti/Paratha
First, roast the brinjal on a flame until soft. Once cooled, peel the skin and stem. Add 2.5 tbsp refined oil, 1 piece quartered onion, 15 cloves peeled garlic, 5g peeled ginger, and 2 pieces stem-removed green chilli to The Upliance jar. The device will then automatically cut these aromatics.
The Upliance will now sauté the aromatics on medium heat for 5 minutes with automatic stirring until golden. Then, add 0.5 tsp Jeera, and Upliance will continue to sauté on high heat for 30 seconds.
Repeat the above. Add 2 halved tomatoes, 0.25 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp salt, 0.5 tsp garam masala, 0.5 tsp Kashmiri mirch, and 0.5 tsp coriander powder to The Upliance jar. The Upliance will then cook this mixture on medium heat for 5 minutes with automatic stirring. Finally, add the roasted brinjal pulp, and the device will simmer the bharta on medium heat for 15 minutes with continuous stirring.
The dish is ready. Transfer the Baingan Bharta to a serving bowl. Garnish with 1 tbsp ghee, 2 stems minced coriander leaves, and 0.5 tbsp squeezed lemon juice. Serve hot with poori, rice, or roti.
