Ingredients
1. White chana, dried – 1 cup, soaked in enough water for 8 hrs
Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
Water – As required
2. Oil – 1 tbsp (I used olive oil)
3. Mustard seeds – 1/4 – 1/2 tsp
Cumin seeds – 1/4 tsp
4. Onion – 1/2 cup, finely chopped
Curry leaves – 1 sprig
5. Chilly powder – 1/2 – 3/4 tsp
Garam masala powder – 1/4 – 1/2 tsp
6. Salt – To taste
Method
1. Pressure-cook the soaked chana adding enough water and 1/4 tsp turmeric powder for 1 whistle or until soft and done. Drain the water and set aside.
2. Heat oil in a pan at medium heat. Splutter mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Add the chopped onion, curry leaves and little salt. Fry for a few minutes until onion starts turning brown. Add chilly powder and garam masala powder. Stir for a minute and add the cooked chana. Mix well and stir-fry for 6 – 8 minutes. Serve as a snack or as a side-dish for rice.
