    Sharing with you a tongue tickling recipe which gives you a mixed taste... sweet, sour, spicy to make it an aromatic accompaniment :p Olive oil is used in this recipe. You can use any oil of your choice. For children you decide the use of chillies as preferred. This dish can be had as a chole chat separately in a bowl and relish. Goes well with puris (fried indian wheat bread) and chapathis (Indian wheat bread)
