[email protected]This saag chole was okay. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but it wasn't bad either. The spinach and chickpeas were cooked well, and the sauce was flavorful. I would probably make it again, but I would make some changes to the recipe.

[email protected]I was disappointed with this saag chole. The spinach was tough and the chickpeas were dry. The sauce was also very watery. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

[email protected]This saag chole was good, but not great. The spinach was a little overcooked, and the sauce was a bit bland. I think I would have liked it more if I had added more spices.

[email protected]I'm not usually a fan of spinach, but this dish was surprisingly good! The spinach was cooked down until it was soft and tender, and the chickpeas added a nice texture and flavor. The sauce was also very flavorful, with a good balance of spices.
