CHOLE SAAG



Chole Saag image

This tastes exactly like the dish that I always get at my favorite Indian restaurant. I made it up one day and everyone was shocked. It has quite the mix of ingredients, but they all play a key role in getting the taste and consistency that I was looking for.

PALAK/SAAG CHOLE



Palak/Saag Chole image

I recently fell in love with chole. Locally, menu dishes called "saag" are made with spinach, which is why I've listed it as Palak/Saag. I've played around with this, increasing the amount of spinach to tomato, lowering the fat and salt, etc. This is a healthy, tasty dish that is great with naan, roti, or even dosas.
