I am half North Indian too - and half South Indian - I am Indian!!! I know why you may have had the confusion - in some places in North America, Chole Batura is also called Chana Batura (in a Sikh restaurant in LA for example, go figure!) near my place. Anyway, the gravy is similar to Rajma too - although a lot of cream is used in rajma like in Dal Makhani. Btw, I am not a fan of Rajma. Also, I do not prefer Batura or even Naan since it is made with Maida that has essentially no nutrients - same goes for Mughlai paratha of Anadi Cabin in Kolkata (but, thee is something unique with their preparation as it contains eggs). I much prefer methi or aloo paratha (even though it is cooked with lots of ghee!). One thing I must say, I am digressing here, vegetables (eg, cauliflower, tomatoes, cucumber and more) have so much wonderful taste in India that is not there in the US - here, they are bigger and look wonderful - maybe it is the chemicals that are used to feed the plants and also to act as "longer shelf life" during transportation and in the stores.

Chickpeas = Chole = Chana = Garbanzo Beans. Different places have different names for the same thing. In the west, we get it also in tinned cans (that has a liquid base which I throw out and wash the beans more) - they are sort of "pre-cooked". Normal dry chole (beans) take a lot of time to cook - one needs to soak overnight or use a pressure cooker - with the canned stuff it can be used immediately. Cheers Nattusbs |
