Chana Ghassi and a bowlful of steamed rice – now, that’s what I’d call a homely and sumptuous meal! Dry roasted spices and coconut make a wonderful masala to flavour boiled kala chana, which has a rich yet soothing flavour and texture due to the interplay of mellow coconut with aromatic spices. Make sure you add some water when cooking the chana and masala together, as this is a semi-dry subzi and not a dry one.

A mildly spicy coconut gravy blended with perfectly cooked chickpeas. I cooked my soaked chickpeas for 3 whistles, it was just the right texture. This recipe will be on my menu every week.

Black Chana dal soaked and cooked in a coconut paste forms a nice filling dal.
