Authentic Indian Chole Masala Recipe

Heat avocado oil in a pan. Add bay leaves, dry chili pepper, cinnamon sticks, and whole cumin seeds.

Once cumin seeds start to sizzle, add diced onion and cook until slightly brown and translucent.

Lower the heat and add the tomatoes, ginger, and garlic. Mix well.

Add salt, turmeric, paprika, red chili powder, chana masala mix, and water. Mix well.

Let simmer for about 5 minutes with lid on.

Add cooked chickpeas, mix well and let cook for 7 to 10 minutes until chickpeas are softened.

Serve alongside basmati white rice, naan, or roti. Enjoy!
