How to make Cholia Paneer
To make cholia paneer curry full of taste, first of all take chickpeas/chickpeas and clean them and wash them two-three times with water. Now prepare a paste by grinding chopped tomatoes, cashews and green chillies with the help of a mixer. Now take out this paste in a bowl and keep it aside. After this, put 1 teaspoon of oil in the pressure cooker and heat it on medium flame. After the oil is hot, add cloves, bay leaves, cumin, cinnamon and fry for a few seconds.
After this, add finely chopped onions, green garlic and fry them till they turn golden. Then add fenugreek leaves, red chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric and other dry spices to it, mix with the help of a spoon and cook while stirring. When the aroma starts coming from the spices, add tomato-cashew paste and let it cook. After some time add ghee/butter to the gravy. After this, cook the gravy till the ghee leaves.
After leaving the ghee of the gravy, add salt and chickpeas as per taste. If using chickpeas, soak them in water overnight and use them only.
