Choley, also known as chole or chana masala, is a popular North Indian dish made primarily from chickpeas cooked in a spiced tomato-based gravy. Key ingredients typically include boiled chickpeas, onions, garlic, ginger, tomatoes, and an array of aromatic spices such as turmeric, cumin, coriander, and garam masala. This hearty and flavorful dish is a staple in Punjabi cuisine and is often paired with rice or flatbreads like naan and bhature. From a nutritional perspective, choley is rich in plant-based protein and dietary fiber, thanks to its chickpea base. It provides essential vitamins and minerals like folate, iron, and magnesium. While nutritious, its healthiness can be affected by added oils and cream, which are sometimes used in preparation, contributing to higher calorie and fat content. Opting for a lighter version with minimal oil makes it a wholesome and balanced meal.
