Chole Capsicum Masala

Chole (chickpea) capsicum (bell pepper) masala is a north Indian style chickpea preparation with capsicum. This cuisine is popular all over India. The chole / kabuli-chana and capsicum (here I have used the green capsicum) are cooked deliciously in a cashew-based curry.

- 4-5 tbsp cream can be used instead of cashew paste to thicken the gravy.
- Instead of garlic paste, ginger garlic paste can also be added.
