Lahori Murgh Cholay is one of the most popular dishes of Punjab. Roadside vendors are selling this stuff in all seasons in parks and in bazaars in Industrial areas.
Cholay means Kabuli Channa in Punjabi, and Murgh Means Chicken. Lahori Murgh Cholay is a traditional, aromatic, spiced Pakistani recipe that originated from the historical city of Lahore and is a significant part of Punjabi cuisine. Lahore is a city rich in culture, and this is a dish that combines chicken and chickpeas in a flavorful sauce,e resulting in a finger-licking curry that goes well with naan, paratha, ha or rice.
I used frozen chickpeas; you can use canned chickpeas or freshly boiled chickpeas. I used desi ghee to make Lahori murgh chole, which I always prefer to use in all kinds of traditional cooking. Additionally, I used homemade murgh chole spice powder, which you can get the link to click on;o let's begin.
