For a Serving Size of Two:
Ingredients:
For Multigrain Mini Naan:
- 60 grams multigrain flour (a mix of whole wheat, millet, and chickpea flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 30 ml warm water
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
For Pindi Chole:
- 80 grams chickpeas (soaked overnight and boiled)
- 100 grams finely chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 100 grams pureed tomato
- 2 teaspoons cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
- Salt to taste
- Fresh coriander for garnish
Procedure:
- In a bowl, combine multigrain flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 1 hour in a warm place.
- After resting, punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a mini naan shape (about 4 inches in diameter).
- Heat a skillet or tawa over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for 2-3 minutes on each side until puffed and golden. Optionally, brush with a little oil or butter.
- For the chole, in a pan, heat cooking oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
- Stir in ginger-garlic paste and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the tomato puree and cook until oil separates.
- Add coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well, then add the boiled chickpeas. Mix everything thoroughly and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Garnish with fresh coriander and serve the Pindi Chole alongside the multigrain mini naan.
