Ingredients:
- 4-5 cups black chickpeas (kala chana), soaked overnight or 6-8 hours
- Water for soaking and cooking
- Salt to taste
- 2-3 cups water (for pressure cooking)
For the gravy:
- 2-3 tbsp oil
- 1 tbsp mustard seeds
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
- 4-5 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1-2 green chillies, chopped
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 1 inch ginger, chopped
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper powder (optional)
- 2 tbsp garam masala powder
- 1 bunch coriander leaves, chopped
Preparation Method:
1. Soak and Cook the Chickpeas:
- Soak 4-5 cups of black chickpeas (kala chana) overnight or for 6-8 hours.
- Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas.
- Place the soaked chickpeas in a pressure cooker, add salt to taste, and 2-3 cups of water.
- Secure the lid and cook on medium heat until you hear 4-5 whistles.
- Allow the pressure to release naturally for about 10-15 minutes.
- Check the chickpeas for doneness. If they are not tender enough, you can cook them for a couple more whistles.
2. Prepare the Masala:
- Heat 2-3 tbsp of oil in a pan.
- Add 1 tbsp of mustard seeds and let them splatter.
- Add 1/2 tsp of cumin seeds (jeera), chopped garlic, chopped ginger and chopped green chillies. Saute for a minute.
- Add sliced onion and salt to taste. Saute until the onions turn translucent.
- Add 1/2 tsp of turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp of black pepper powder (optional), and 2 tbsp of garam masala powder. Mix well and saute for a minute.
- Add chopped tomato and cook until they become soft and mushy.
- Add a little water if needed to prevent sticking, and cook for a few more minutes until the masala is well cooked and oil starts to separate from the sides.
- Add the boiled chickpeas (kala chana) to the masala. Mix well and simmer for 5-10 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to blend together.
- Finally, add chopped coriander leaves and mix well.
3. Serve:
- Masaledar Chana is ready to be served hot with rice, roti, or any bread of your choice.
