Palak wali choley
I know you are recalling where i had this??
Must be in a North-Indian speciality restaurant...Though this looks exactly like the normal chana Masala or choley, this is slightly rich in flavours and of course, colours beacause of Spinach.

10. Red chilli powder: 1 tsp
11. Cream: 1 tbsp
12. Oil: 3 tbsp
13. Salt to taste
14. Ginger- Garlic paste.
Preparation:
Finely chop the onions and puree the Tomatoes. Blanch the spinach leaves in hot water, cool them and make a puree.
Pressure cook the chanas till soft.
Procedure:
1. Take about 3 tbsps of oil in a pan.
2. Put chopped onions and slit green chilles. Fry till onions becomes translucent.
3. Add the tomato puree and all the dry masalas. Fry till the oil separates from the pan.
4. Put the boiled chanas mix well. Cover and cook for 5 mins.
