Great flavor profile!!! Loved this vegetarian dish and will use again. I made a quick sauce with sour cream, cilantro and ground cumin. I also serve this dish with some naan, which was a helpful way to eat all the beans.
The flavors in the chickpea sauce were outstanding! I combined a few steps for ease. The potato cakes definitely need some salt. which I will add next time. Rather than mixing the water and tomato paste separately, I just stirred them right into the chickpea mixture. Also, I this was a pretty dry sauce, and I wanted it to be a little "saucier", so it wouldn't just lie on the tomato patties in a lump. I added 2 t paste instead of 1, and eventually added about 1/2 cup of water, stirring it in gradually to get the consistency right. It was definitely spicy, so I cut back on the cayenne a bit so my son would eat it. It was full of delicious Indian flavors and I will be making this again! A great vegan dinner.
A really yummy vegetarian dish! I'm going to use leftover baked potatoes next time.
Loved this! I love roasting the spices at first. I also add a tap of mustard seed to infuse into the oil. I reduce to half tsp of cayenne and I like a little gravy so doubled the tomatoe paste mixture and added half a cup of water. I will make again for sure.
Loved it! So flavorful. Pretty easy once you get out all the ingredients. Even with 3/4 tsp cayenne, it was pretty spicy! Will definitely make again.
This came out great. I didn’t have cumin seeds so I used powder and the same for whole peppercorns and cloves but o
I made these and they were very good. Even better when served with tamarind chutney
this was really good, but I made the following changes:
only used about 1/3 tsp of cayenne and one dried chili, and it was plenty hot enough for my husband and me - even with this lower heat level it was too hot for my kids.
doubled the tomato paste/water mixture and added a small can of tomato sauce. also added about 1/4 cup of water to the chickpea mixture - this gave it more of a gravy. I'm guessing the chickpeas would've been pretty dry without these changes
Delicious. No changes to this recipe necessary. Very good.
My boyfriend agreed his is definitely an authentic Indian recipe. I liked the tikki but chole tasted just like spiced chickpeas to me there was hardly any gravy. Also who eats one tikki as a serving?! We ate two each. Too much time and effort for two servings in my opinion; I wish I had doubled the recipe.
