Chole for Bachelors who dont have mixie

My cousin called me on the "good Friday" afternoon to know how Chole is prepared. I was busy logging a defect in office (Yeah I was working on Good Friday! Everyone was working in office). When I was instructing him step by step on how to make Chole, it stuck me I should document my recipes. One of the many reasons for me to start with this blog is to spend my weekends usefully. I dedicate this blog for my reviews on music & movies, cookery and whatever can be added to it.

Here goes the simple Chole for people who dont have much time or extra accessories in their kitchen.
