Cherry Tomato Galette

Kala Chola Pakistani-Style

This Pakistani kala chola recipe is made with kala chana, which is in the family of garbanzo beans. It can be served as a meal with rice or just on its own. You can find kala chana in Indian/Pakistani stores or in the Indian/Pakistani section of an international store. It is really tasty and very popular in my home. According to my mom (a diabetic), kala chana are high in fiber and low in fat. It is great for people with blood sugar problems. Serve by garnishing with onion and cilantro with basmati rice. Hope you all enjoy it.

It's learning to make dishes like this chicken and broccoli curry that allows you to go from someone who knows how to follow a recipe, to someone who actually creates recipes. The same basic technique is going to work no matter what meats, vegetables, and spices you use. Serve over rice, noodles, or even French fries for a curry version of poutine.
