ChanaMasala

This is my Mum's recipe and all of us enjoy it made this way, I can remember my college days at Bengaluru in VHD institute of Home Science we had a canteen day, our batch would cook in the college canteen on Thursdays and my Chana Masala and Carrot Halwa were big hits!!

Ingredients
200 gms of kabuli chana soaked previous night, pressure cooked with salt and little edible soda
3 onions finely chopped
2 tablespoons of tamarind pulp
1 tspn cumin powder
1 tspn coriander powder
1 tspn pepper powder
1 tspn garlic paste
1 tspn ginger paste
1 tspn chilli powder
Salt to taste
Finely chopped coriander for garnishing

Method

Take oil in a bottomed pan put the ginger garlic paste, saute a bit, add onions cook it till brown, add all powders, the salt (add salt with care since we added it while cooking the chana), tamarind paste cook well then add the boiled chana, stir mix well and see if it is too thick then add little water to make it a required consistency. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander, serve with pooris or bhaturas. Enjoy accompanied with freshly chopped onion, tomato and sauteed green chilli.
