thoda thoda khatta thoda thoda teekha chola kulche ke sath or babycorn salad hai saath

Its been a very long time since i prepared chickpea in my kitchen so today when i got the opportunity again to experiment in kitchen thanks to Advays afternoon nap,i thought of preparing chickpea curry,salad and ginger rice  ,though i have tried sindhi style and punjabi style and have my own chola recipe i wanted to try something different this time,,something which is spicy and tangy too,..i could imagine the taste while i was thinking what to add and what not,..sounds strange na,..i know but thats how i cook whenever i am experimenting,..:-)most of the time i start the tadka with cumin seeds but this time i thought of going ahead without them,and ya for the first time i used chola masala so the ingredient needed for

khatta and teekha chola curry-

boiled chickpea two cup

onion three chopped

garlic six cloves chopped

ginger one inch chopped

salt to taste

red chili powder one tsp

catch chola masala three tsp

cloves half tsp

black pepper half tsp

dried red chili three

bay leave two crushed

black cardamom two

tamarind pulp two tbsp

procedure

heat one tbsp oil in non stick wok

once oil is hot lower the flame and add clove,black pepper,red chili,crushed bay leaves and black cardamom,

once they start spluttering add chopped ginger,garlic followed by onion

keep frying till onions start changing their colour,once done add catch chole masala and red chili powder

fry further till oil is seen along the sides,now add tamarind pulp and fry further for a minute,.

Ginger rice-

for ginger rice heat one tsp oil in non stick wok,add half tsp of cumin seeds once they start spluttering add one tbsp of grated ginger,once ginger starts changing colour add cooked rice and fry to mix well ,once done add orange colour and mix properly to attain uniformity.

for Salad

steam chopped mushroom and babycorn in microwave for two minutes,once done drain and keep aside,mix salt,pepper,chopped lemon leaves and chopped tomato ,toss well and serve chilled,guys thanks to my memory loss i have really forgotten what these herbs are known as they have lemon like flavour,when i bought them yesterday i saw the name but as soon as i reached the home i was blank,..:-(do let me know if u guys know the other name of these leaves...
