Notes
- Cook chana until soft else it will not catch the masala well.
- Adding salt while cooking chana is must so that the salt catches well when we add it at that stage.
- You can make the masala powder in advance and store it.
- I didn't have coriander seeds so used homemade coriander powder.
- You can replace coriander powder with 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds.
