Method
- To begin making the Malvani Chana Masala Recipe, we will first keep the ingredients ready for the malvani masala.Preheat a pan over medium heat; add the spices for the malvani masala into the pan and roast for about a minute until you can smell the aromas coming through.
- You will also notice the spices change color, as they are getting roasted.Once roasted, allow the spices to cool.
- Once cooled, blend them into a smooth powder and keep aside.In the meantime pressure cook the soaked chana for at least 6 to 10 whistle or for 25 minutes in a pressure cooker along with 3 cups of water and salt to taste.
- Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally.Once the kala chana is cooked, take out about 1/4 cup of cooked chana and blend it in a mixer to a coarse paste.
- This is done to give a thick texture to the Malvani kala chana gravy.Once the chana is blended, keep it aside.Heat oil in a kadai over medium heat; add mustard seeds and cumin seeds and allow it to crackle for few seconds.Add chopped garlic and sauté till they soften.
- Add in the powdered Malvani masala onto the kadai and stir fry for a few seconds.
- Stir in the ground kala chana masala paste, the cooked chana masala, tamarind water, jaggery and cream and give it a stir.Check the salt and spices and adjust to taste accordingly.
- Add water if required to give the Malvani Kala Chana Masala a curry like consistency.Bring the Malvani Kala Chana Masala to a brisk boil.
- Turn the heat to low and simmer the masala for about 5 minutes so the masalas get well incorporated into the Kala Chana.Once done, turn off the heat and transfer the Malvani Kala Chana Masala to a serving bowl and serve hot.
