Indira,

such a wonderful marriage of spinach and chole. i’ve had this before with spinach pureed to form gravy which i simply can’t eat:( this was heavenly with phulkas for our dinner today. thank you for always coming up with simple, close-to-heart recipes.

I made this last night. I came out beautiful and tasted great but it didn’t look like yours. The consistency was more of a soup with a thin gravy-like base and veg. Your photo looks much more condensed. Did I do something wrong?

Hi Indira, you have certainly created a cook in me (atleast wannabe cook) since your food blog- wonderful recipes, smart writing and pictures. I keep coming back for more and it is always a pleasure.
I have a question about mixie/grinder. If I had no way of buying a sumeet, which US market blender or food processor would you recommend that is suitable for the indian cooking(chutney, some dosa/idli batter). Please do chip in if you have any suggestions for me.

Thank you and keep up the great work

Oooh this sounds fantastic! I love chole and spinach- never thought to combine them!

This looks great – we make palak chole as a variation of palak paneer but I’ve never added pureed chickpeas to the gravy. Seems like it would impart a really rich, nutty flavor. Will try that out next time!

Hi,
You seem to have a beautiful garden and I love your recipes, may be due to my love for Hyderabad. I am a Gujarati and a typical Bombayite ( I do take pride in being a Bombayite, Aamchi Mumbai). I lived in Hyderabad for 7 years and developed an immense love for the city. Food was one aspect, but loved the people and the place.
I am so happy to see this chole palak on your website. I cooked the same long time back and I was laughed and mocked at for the same. Hats off and thanks.

Beautiful hibiscus! We used to call them shoe-flowers…I love the sound of this recipe. Chole..but healthier!

The dish looks so appetizing and I especially love all the flowers you post from your yard. You seem to be both a great cook and a master gardener. I am so in awe of you

The chole looks fabulous. After looking at the picture I had been craving to make some myself. I made chole today using methi instead of Palak though. Thanks Indira!

I absolutely love chole and make it quite often. I try to include greens at least 3 times every week in some form or the other and being vegetarians – beans being the one of the major protein sources – the combo of these two turn out to be so convenient.

They are so filling too – arent they?
