Chole Masala

well this is a very usual recipe and yea almost everyone would be knowing the best way to make it. But I feel my recipe is more north and south Indian fusion.. its tastes hot and it has this sour taste which goes really well with rotis or pooris and it takes about jus 20 mins to prepare it. The most easiest dish I would say.
