Padma Lakshmi Instagram – Every time I cook this dish I try to recreate the chole that I would find simmering all day on my Aunt Papu’s stove when I visited Delhi as a kid. Chole, a dish of spiced chickpeas (also called Chana or Chana Masala!) originates in the Indian subcontinent but can be found wherever people from the subcontinent went and settled due to colonialism. Every culture and family has their own variation, but this is mine. What is your version of chole??
