Notes
- Soaking – Soak chana for at least 8 hours or overnight so that it is cooked soft. So do not miss this step.
- Cooking – Cook chana until soft but still firm enough to hold shape. So pressure cook for 5-6 whistles in medium flame. Avoid overcooking, as it may turn mushy.
- Spice Powder – Roast the dals until golden brown to bring out their nutty aroma. Let them cool completely before grinding into a fine powder for the best flavor.
- Tempering – Use fresh curry leaves and whole red chilies for a fragrant tempering. Don’t skip hing - it aids in digestion.
