Recipe Summary

All Ingredients - Main Ingredients

  1. Olive Oil 150 ml
  2. Onions 2
  3. Tomatoes 2
  4. Turmeric Powder (Haldi) 3 tsp
  5. Chilli Powder 1 tsp
  6. Salt 2 tsp
  7. Garlic Paste 3 tsp
  8. Green Chilli 1
  9. Water 100 ml
  10. Chickpeas (Chana) 500g
  11. Water 500 ml
  12. Ground Cumin (Jeera) 2 tsp
  13. Coriander as needed

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Heat Oil and Sauté Onions

Heat 150 ml of olive oil in a pan. Add 2 chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown, which takes approximately 5-7 minutes.

Step 2: Add Tomatoes

Add 2 chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften.

Step 3: Add Spices

Add 3 tsp of turmeric powder, 1 tsp of chili powder, 2 tsp of salt, 3 tsp of garlic paste, and 1 chopped green chili. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes until the spices are fragrant.

Step 4: Simmer with Water (First Batch)

Pour in 100 ml of water and continue to cook the mixture for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oil starts to separate from the masala.

Step 5: Add Chickpeas and Simmer

Add 500g of boiled chickpeas (chana) to the pan. Pour in 500 ml of water and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, allowing the chickpeas to absorb the flavors and the gravy to thicken slightly.

Step 6: Add Ground Cumin

Sprinkle 2 tsp of ground cumin (jeera) over the chickpeas and mix gently. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot.
