Ok, I have visited this blog a very very very long time... No excuse, its just that I have been busy with baby and office. And also there is a lack of motivation to keep updating this blog... :(
Anayways, now I am back again. Mainly to write some of my fav recipes so that I dont forget it when I want to make it next time.
This time I am going to post how to make Chana masala with anardana powder. I had tasted this recipe at my friend's place. Its simple, easy and comes out amazing. So here we go:
Ingredients:
Kabuli Chana - 3 cups soaked overnight
Onion : 2 big chopped finely
ginger: 1 inch
garlic: around 10
green chilli: 2-3
Anardana Powder: 2 tbsp (I use MDH brand)
Instruction:
1. Pressure cook soaked chana for at least 10 whistles (or around 30-40 mins)
2. In the meantime soak Anardana Podwer in water (1 cup) for 30 mins.
3. Grind Ginger-garlic and chilli to make it a paste
3. In the oil, add Hinge and cumin seeds and fry for 30 sec.
4. Add Onion and fry till it becomes translucent.
5. Then add ginger-garlic-chilli paste and fry for another 2-3 mins.
6. Add coriander powder, tarmeric powder, and garam masala and fry for another minute.
7. Add Anardana powder paste which was mixed with water earlier. Fry for another 5 mins.
8. In the meantime, take 1-1/2 cup of boiled chana and grind it. This will make the garvy thick.
9. After frying anardana powder, add boiled chana and also the chana paste.
10. Add salt to taste.
11. Let it cook in slow flame for 15-20 mins.
12. Add chopped coriander leaves for garnishing.
Chana Masala is ready!!!
