Let chola soak in water overnight.
Next day pressure cook with salt to taste and 1 packet of tea (from 100 pack we get in USA), or put little tea-leaves, we get in India and wrap it in a cloth. This will change the color of chola to black.

Then add minced garlic and ginger paste. Then add onion paste. Fry till oil comes out. Then add tomato and tomato puree. Add haldi, mirchi, dhaniya and chola masala.
When masala is done, add chola and little water. Check salt. Let cook for few minutes.
Garnish with chopped onion.
