Amritsari Chole is another recipe, in a series, that stars Chickpeas. As part of my research related to recipes, I speak with expert cooks among my family and friends. I got this simple and delicious recipe from a cousin sister in Mumbai, who is one of the best cooks in my family. Amritsar is a city in the Indian state of Punjab, and that???s where this style of the dish gets its name.
