Heat oil and ghee in a deep wok or kadhai.

Add chole masala, coriander powder, red chili powder, black pepper powder, chaat masala, and amchur powder, mixing well to coat everything evenly.

Add besan (gram flour) and roast it for a minute until its raw smell disappears.

Pour in a little water and cook the spice mixture until everything blends into a thick, aromatic masala.
