The day of poori chana halwa 🧡 Festivities on weekdays & the thought of doing it all can be overwhelming, thankfully slowly learning to manage my to-dos as per my schedules to continue celebrating the traditions ✨
.
What’s cooking? Sookhe Kale Chane, chickpeas tossed in a paste of spices, meant to be paired with poori and Halwa. We went for Roti just for convenience and time on hand 🙈 For that extra dark color to your chana, cook them in a cast iron pan or kadhai and see the magic for yourself. 
.
Soak Chana overnight - Pressure Cook - Toss with spices - Slow cook - ✅ Ingredients & Recipe ⬇️
.
.
Ingredients 
2 tbsp cooking oil of choice
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/4 tsp heeng 
1 tsp each salt, red chili powder, coriander powder, dry mango powder
1/2 tsp black pepper, garam masala 
2 cups black chickpeas (soaked overnight) 
.
.
Pressure cook soaked and drained chickpeas in Instant pot for 45 mins with 4 cups water + 1 tsp salt. Natural release pressure
.
Add all the spices to a small bowl and combine with a little water - stir to make a smooth paste, keep aside- in a pan (I use a cast iron pan for that extra dark color) add oil - once warm add cumin seeds let splutter but not burnt - add heeng toss for 10 seconds - on low medium heat add masala paste, stir to combine, the paste avoids spices from getting burnt - stir well and let it sizzle for a minute or so until it begins to bubble and you see it releasing oil, add cooked chickpeas with 1-2 cups water - mix well until masala is well combined - let them cook on low medium heat tossing in between until water is completely dry and chana turns dark, about 10-15 mins.
