Ashaji’ blog – Foodie’s Hope is one of the places that I love to visit. I like the way she presents the recipes and shares with us the books she read and movies she watched that week. She is on a break now, more than a year, and I wish she comes back soon. I have bookmarked many recipes from her site and this is one of them
Though Poori and masal are the favored pair at home, sometimes for a change I like to prepare chole to go with Poori.I have always been using the ready made channa masala powder and once I saw this on Ashaji’s blog, bookmarked to prepare it. Now the time has come and here is the recipe.
I used:
Recipe Source :Foodie’s Hope
Coriander seeds – 3 tablespoons
Cumin seeds – 1 tablespoon
Peppercorns – 1 teaspoon
Red chillies- 2
Cloves- 8 numbers
Cinnamon – 1″ piece
Cardamom seeds from 2 pods
Nutmeg powder-1/4 teaspoon
Ginger powder – 1 teaspoon
- Roast all the ingredients except the last two powders till brown.
- Cool and grind to a fine powder.
- Remove this powder onto a jar and add the nutmeg powder and ginger powder.
- Mix well and store in an air tight container.
Chole prepared from home made masala is bound to be extra delicious….

bookmarked this one…will try it soon
That is a good one.. I think we can use this masala for other curries as well..
I never tried my hands on masala powder:-) This one looks simple and i have all ingredients in my pantry…time to try some home made spice powder:-)
I agree that home made masalas have a fresh flavor which is unmistakable!!!
Yumm!! Nothing like homemade masalas!!
I make something similar..so know how tasty this is..:)
Nothing will beat the homemade masala powder,quite flavourufl and a must podi..
I agree with Priya, nothing tastes quite as good as homemade powder. This one looks just perfect !
Chole must have been extra flavorful with the homemade masala.
Just saw your comment at my blog girl, came here asap. Wonderful looking masala, homemade is always best and aroma is unbelievable too. Thanks for trying. Have fun! 🙂
Looks yummy… spicy
