Cooking Steps
Chana Ghugni
Step 1 :
In a pressure cooker, add the soaked chickpeas, water considering 1:2 ratio, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2 :
Place it on a high flame till it whistles (2-3 whistles work best for well-soaked chana. If not, let it whistle 4 times).
Step 3 :
Once the whistles are done, reduce the flame to medium heat and let it sit for 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Step 4 :
Take a big pan and place it on a high flame. Pour oil and let it heat. Add and fry bay leaf, cumin seeds, and red chilli till they splutter.
Step 5 :
Drop the chopped onions and fry them on medium flame till they turn golden. Make sure not to turn them brown.
Step 6 :
Add the sliced or slit green chillies and ginger garlic paste. Continue to sauté for a few more minutes till the raw aroma fades.
Step 7 :
Turn up the heat, add the chopped tomato and close the lid. Fry in between till the tomato shrinks and turns mushy.
Reduce the flame and set the lid aside.
Step 8 :
Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder. Mix well.
Step 9 :
Add salt to taste. Remember that the chickpeas also contain a bit of salt.
Step 10 :
Pour water little by little to avoid the spice mix drying up and burning. Close the lid and let it cook for 1-2 minutes.
Step 11 :
Once the oil separates from the mix, pour in the boiled chickpea with the water.
Step 12 :
Turn the flame low, mix the ingredients and close the lid for the flavours to soak into the chana.
Step 13 :
After a few minutes, add the coriander and garam masala powder. Increase the flame and mix them well for 2 more minutes.
Step 14 :
If you want to make it a bit tangier, you can sprinkle some sugar during the last steps.
Step 15 :
The dish is ready to be served with rice, or any Indian bread.
