the other day, I was wondering how I could make something healthy and tasty for a snack and this happened......its something made very often by mom-in-law and i should say its yummy and filling.
Ingredients:
-------------------------------
1.black chana 1 cup(soaked overnight)
2.onion 1 medium (finely chopped)
3.green chillies 6 (finely chopped)
4.ginger 1/2 inch(finely grated)
5.fresh coconut 1tblsp finely shredded
6.lemon juice 1 tsp
7.dhania powder 1/2 tsp
8.salt to taste.
9.vegetable oil 1/2 tsp.
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.
5. serve it in a dish and garnish with finely chopped coriander.
Suggestions:
-------------------------------
The black chana can be substituted for any other lentil..like moong or chick peas,better still, with a mixture of different lentils. Relish it on a lovely summer evening with a cup of tea or coffee
