Channa Masala

 

This Channa Masala Recipe turned out so well when I tried, so wanted to blog it.

 

Method

 

Soak channa and cook well in the pressure cooker till soft.

 

Fry the following items and grind

 

Whole garam masala (clove, cinnamon, bay leaf, elachi)

 

1 Onion

1 Green Chilly

2 Medium tomatoes

Ginger garlic paste 2 tsp

Chilly pwd 1 tsp

Coriander pwd 1/2 tsp

turmeric pwd (a pinch)

 

Add 1 spoon oil in a kadai and fry 1/2 tsp sombu and add the above masala. Add 1/2 tsp channa masala and let it boil for a few minutes. Add channa and salt and mix well. In the end, grind 1 small piece coconut to 5 almonds. Add this to the gravy and let it boil for a minute or two. This gives a nice creamy texture to the gravy. Add Kasuri methi in the end to give it a nice smell.

 

Channa masala is ready to serve !!!
