How to make it
- Soak Chickpeas overnight or for at least 6 hours.
- Boil them with enough water and teabags till they are soft.
- Throw away the teabags (the tea Bags are to give the chick peas a dark colour) Traditionally Chana pindi was cooked in an Iron Kadahi (skillet) That gave the chickpeas a dark colour.
- Heat oil in an Iron skillet.
- If you do not have one use a non stick pan.
- Add the cardomoms.
- After a minute add onions and saute.
- After about two minutes, add the roasted coriander seeds and the ajwain seeds,and continue to saute the onions.
- When the onions turn golden, add the gram flour (Besan).
- This is to give body to the curry.
- Now add ginger garlic paste and keep frying.
- take care that the ginger garlic paste does not stick to the base.
- Saute for about 3 to 4 minutes so that the raw smell of the ginger garlic is gone.
- Now add tomatoes and fry Add all the powders and salt and continue to fry till the tomatoes soften and mix properly.
