  • Pressure cook for 1-2 whistle and then low flame for around 10-15 mins.

  • Cook the pressure cooker before opening it

  • Check if Chana has cooked

If there is a lot of water in the Chana use a high flame on gas and let the liquid evaporate

  • I’ve transferred the Chana to kadhai as my pressure cooker is small. 

Add black pepper powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, ginger and green chilli paste.

Mix well and then add oil.

  • Bhunao ( fry) this very well for 10-15 mins

And that’s it, your Kale Chane ka SALAN is ready
