2.onion 1 medium (finely chopped)

10.mustard seeds 1/2 tsp
11.cumin seeds 1/2 tsp
12.coriander 1tblsp finely chopped.
13.curry leaves 10-12(these are optional)
Procedure:
-------------------------------
1. pressure cook the chana until its tender (around 5 whistles should be good).
2. heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds, when they splutter, add cumin seeds.
3. add grated ginger, chopped chillies and onion and cook for a few minutes.
4. add the remaining ingredients along with the boiled chana and mix well.
