Preparation: Take one cup kala chana and soak in water all night long prior to cooking next day.

Ingredients:

• 1 middle size onion

• 1 teaspoon cumin seed

• 1 teaspoon black pepper

• Red chilly powder (as desired)

• Salt

• 1 cup kala chana

• 2 teaspoon oil

Method:

Boil kaala chana in water, add oil and salt. Let the chana get tender. It’s up to you to decide whether you want it a little dry or with a little gravy. However, do not dry completely.

Now grind onion. Then blend cumin (sufaid zeera) and black pepper with the onion. Now put the paste of onion, ground cumin and black pepper in chana and cook for another 15 minutes.

Now you can serve it with onion salad by garnishing with hara dhania (cilantro), green pepper and a hint of  lemon.

Enjoy!
