💡 Chef Pro Express Tip

"Smooth passata saves 15 minutes of chopping and cooking raw tomatoes."

Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and saute 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste for 30 seconds.

Add 0.5 cup tomato passata and 1 tbsp chole masala; cook for 2 minutes until bubbling.

Add rinsed canned chickpeas and 0.25 cup water; simmer on medium heat for 5 minutes.

Lightly crush a few chickpeas with the back of a spoon to thicken the gravy instantly. Serve piping hot with roti or rice!
