My Notes:

• You can even add mint leaves for extra flavour.
• You can make in pressure cooker too giving 3 whistles in low medium flame.Water is 1.5 cups if you have pre-soaked the rice for 30mins.
• You can even use white channa instead of black channa.
• You can even add 1/2 cup coconut milk and add 1 and 1/2 cups water in total.
