Main Ingredients
1 cup kabuli chana (white chick peas)
1 tbsp chana dal (split Bengal gram)
4 tbsp oil
2 black cardamom (badi elaichi)
25 mm. (1?) stick cinnamon (dalchini)
1/2 tsp dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi)
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 tsp finely chopped green chillies
1/2 tsp ginger-green chilli paste
1/2 tsp finely chopped garlic (lehsun)
1 1/2 tsp pomegranate (anardana) powder
1 cup chopped tomato
1 tsp coriander-cumin seeds (dhania-jeera) powder
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp kitchen king masala
1/2 tsp garam masala
1 1/4 tsp chole masala

For The Garnish
a few onion rings
Method
- Natural release method: to use this method, remove the pressure cooker from the hot burner and let the pressure drop by cooling down naturally. It works best for grains and for beans that you might use for salads, as quick-releasing the pressure can cause the beans to split apart.
- Wash and soak the kabuli chana and chana dal overnight. Next day, drain and wash again. Keep aside.
- Heat the oil in a pressure cooker, add the black cardamom, green cardamom and cinnamon and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds or till the flavour releases.
- Add the dried fenugreek leaves, onions, green chillies, ginger-green chilli paste, garlic and pomegranate powder, mix well and sauté on a medium flame for 3 to 4 minutes or till the onions turn light brown in colour.
- Add the tomatoes, coriander-cumin seeds powder, chilli powder, kitchen king masala, garam masala, chana masala and salt, mix well and cook on a slow flame for 5 to 6 minutes or till the oil separates from the gravy, while stirring continuously.
- Add the kabuli chana, chana dal, teabag and 2 cups of hot water, mix well and pressure cook on a high flame for 3 whistles.
- Lower the flame and pressure cook for another 3 whistles.
- Allow the steam to escape using natural release method, (refer handy tip) before opening the lid. Serve hot garnished with coriander.
