This is my hot favourite snack usually I have been bringing it from vendors and stalls whenever I go outside for a piece of work one day I thought  should prepare it at home which would be very hygienic and tasty than market-bought, I was got successful to get the same and better taste of Kathiawar cholay when I took the first bite of it right after I have decided to share my experiment with all, already have shared papri recipe in my previous post, So let’s begin
Tips:
  1. To make this recipe use small desi chickpeas rather than big-sized chickpeas
  2. Small/desi chickpeas give a flavoured taste to the dish
  3. Soak chickpeas overnight if possible otherwise can be soaked in hot water for a minimum of 6 hours for urgent cooking
  4. To cook cholay using a clay pot with a wooden spoon will get more aromatic flavour than any other type of using utensil ...
