Methi Chole is an easy but vibrant chick pea curry, which is sure to thrill your taste buds!

The combination of pleasantly bitter fenugreek leaves with nutty chick peas, flavoured awesomely with an onion paste, tomato paste and spice powders, this recipe is a wonderful match for both rice as well as rotis or puris .

The nice blend of textures, the traditional flavour and appetizing aroma of this dish make it truly irresistible. It will be enjoyed by the whole family, and can be served with rice and dal, or any Indian bread.

You can also try other recipes with methi like Methi Palak Paneer Subzi or Methi Palak Aur Makai ki Roti .

Hello, instead of fresh methi leaves can I use kasuri methi? Will it give a good flavour?

Tarla Dalal    Fresh fenugreek leaves and kasuri methi are not the same. However you can roast the fenugreek leaves and use not more than 1 tsp.

I was bored of making the regular chole recipe for my family so when I came across this recipe which had methi it sounded quite interesting so gave it a shot and my family loved it a lot...
