well, let’s be honest!! we all wish to have a recipe that would cater for most of our daily needs. there aren’t any such magic recipes but certain dishes can be made as multipurpose. matar ke chole is one such curry that is not only used as sabji but also predominantly used as gravy sauce for most of the chaat recipes. i personally make this curry in bulk and freeze it in the refrigerator. whenever i am in a mood to make a chaat, i take a portion of it and prepare masala puri or samosa chaat. adding green chutney and tamarind chutney on top of this gravy makes it a perfect combo meal. at the same time, you can serve as it is with a choice of indian bread like roti, chapati, kulcha and naan for lunch and dinner.

furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to matar chole recipe. firstly, dry matar has to be soaked thoroughly and preferably overnight so that it gets soft when it is pressure cooked. as matter of fact, you may soak matar and freeze them for future use. secondly, once the gravy is prepared you may add additional chaat masala if you are planning it for chaat recipes. it is not required and mandatory but for the extra zing, you may add it. lastly, once the gravy is rested it may lose its water content and may thicken. hence while reheating it you may need to add water to bring it to the right consistency.
