Spicy Chickpeas or Chole

If you want to have something spicy, this is what you should have. A perfect blend of spice and taste, to satisfy the spice-maniac(don't know if this is even a word but that is what I prefer to call people like me :D) craving of yours.
Difficulty level for this dish is medium. This is all time fav of almost everyone I came across till date. You can have this with chapatti, naan or rice with onion salad on the sides.
