Green Chole with Coconut milk

Recipe by Cook's Hideout

First let me thank all of you for your wishes and blessings for my little prince on his birthday. He had a great time with cupcake party in his day care and a small carrot cake at home with his dad and me. Coming to the recipe, I know it is a strange name for a dish. But I didn’t want to say Swiss Chard-Spinach Chole, so I shrunk it to just Green Chole. This curry has all of my favorite ingredients: Chole (chickpeas/ garbanzo beans), Swiss chard (which I’m not sure why I don’t use more often), of course...

Ingredients

• 16 oz . cans Chole beans (of (Chickpeas) – drained and rinsed thoroughly or dry , soaked and cooked)

• 1 onion (– medium, chopped)
• 1 green Chili ((optional))
• 2 cloves garlic (– minced)
• supermarket roast chicken, approximately 200g once shredded (– (I mixed 3tsp coconut milk powder in ½ cup water))
• 1 tsp Chole Masala
• 1 tsp cumin (Ground)
• supermarket roast chicken, approximately 200g once shredded (Red)
• supermarket roast chicken, approximately 200g once shredded
