Serves:	2 to 4
Preparation Time:	10-minutes.
Cooking Time:	20-minutes
Ingredients:	Chickpeas - 2 cups (soaked in water overnight)
	Oil - 3 tbsp
	Pinch of Asafoetida (Hing)
	Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp
	Gram Flour (Besan) - 1 tbsp
	Tomatoes - 1

	Turmeric Powder - ½ tsp
	Red Chilli Powder - ½ tsp

	Salt to taste
	Chopped Cilantro (Coriander Leaves) for garnishing

Method:	• Pressure cook the soaked Chickpeas for about 12-min or till you get 5-6 whistles (If you do not have a pressure cooker, boil in a saucepan, with lid on, until soft) • Blend the Tomato, Green Chilli and Ginger to make a puree. • Heat Oil in a pan, add Cumin Seeds and allow it to splutter and add Asafoetida. Then add the Gram Flour and stir fry for a minute. • Add the Tomato Puree mixture, Coriander Powder, Turmeric, Red Chilli Powder, Garam Masala and cook for about 5-min on medium heat. • By now the mixture will start leaving the Oil, this is the right time to add cooked Chickpeas with a half cup of Water. • Add Salt and mix well, keep it covered and let it cook for about 10-min on medium heat. Stir in between and slightly mash the Chickpeas. (Water can be added to adjust the gravy consistency according to your choice) • Garnish with chopped Cilantro (Fresh Coriander Leaves) and serve it piping hot with freshly sliced raw Onions.

Testimonial:

"Dear Spices of India, I live in area where there is limited availability of Indian products. Being an Indian from West Bengal I was delighted to find this website and have been truly overwhelmed with the quality and variety of products. The pricing is excellent and delivery was speedy. Also the products sold have much longer shelf-lifes than the supermarkets. Don't hesistate-this is a good'un!"
