Ingredients:

• 2 cups boiled hara chana (green chana / chickpea)

• 1 onion chopped finely

• 1 tsp kashmiri chilli powder

Method:

1. Clean, wash and soak the chana in some water overnight or for 6-7 hours. Then drain out the water and keep aside.

2. Take a pressure cooker with 4 cups water and 1 tbsp salt. To it add the soaked chana. Cook the chana on medium flame for 10 minutes or upto 5-6 whistles. Once the pressure is released open the cooker and remove all the water from it. Do not throw the water but use it for dal, curries or to knead chapati / paratha dough.

3. Before serving heat a pan and then add the chana with only 2-3 tbsp of the chana water and allow it to cook for 3-4 minutes. Switch off the gas and mix the chopped onions, tomatoes, green chilli, all the dry spices and lemon juice.
