As the name itself depicts…..this is a Satvik dish ie… no onion – no garlic recipe !

Wow very rich.. tasty, healthy.. delicious.. superb.. lip smacking yummy recipe. We all enjoyed this delicious chole with Rice, Dosa/Dosay and Phulka…..what not and what all.

This recipe is really awesome. Satvik chole masala is most popular in Punjab, Delhi, Gurgaon etc but loved all over India I guess. One can find it at every street and corner shops, all the restaurants in these places.

Actually Suresh had been to a conference recently and there he tasted this awesome chole and told about it to me. I was like, wanted to try it out immediately as the details he gave was so interesting.

I browsed through the net, collected various versions of this recipe, mainly followed anjana skc and finally made and adjusted according to our taste and likes. It turned out really yummy.  Most important thing for me is ….. I have used Amla in this recipe in place of tamarind or amchur powder.
