Chole Palak With Khada Masala (Chickpeas Spinach Curry) is another variation of chole cooked with palak and whole spices giving this dish a nutty flavor. This dish is full of nutrition as it is packed with iron, protein and dietary fibre. When served with rice or roti and yogurt makes a complete and satisfying meal.
I have used onions and garlic but this can be made in Jain or Sattvic way and trust me it will taste equally good.
