Step 2: Heat ghee in a large saucepan on medium heat, add ajwain, cinnamon stick and the cloves and let its aroma get released in the ghee

Step 3: Add the slices onions and ginger and sauté until they are slightly soft

Step 4: This will take around 3 to 4 minutes

Step 5: Add sliced tomatoes, cook until the tomatoes turns mushy

Step 6: Once the tomatoes have softened add the spice powders - red chilli powder, garam masala, coriander, and amchur, and cook until the ghee leaves the sides

Step 7: Add the boiled kabuli chana, season with salt and let it simmer for 20 minutes until the Khatte Chole gets well coated with the masala

Step 8: Once done, check the salt and spices and adjust to suit your taste
