Equipment
- pan
- bowl
- spatula
Ingredients
- 2 cups Green chana / fresh Garbanzo beans / Hara cholia I used frozen ones
- 200 gms Paneer cubed
- 1 large Onion finely chopped
- 3 Tomatoes chopped
- 2 Green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Dhania jeera powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 2 teaspoon Chana masala
- for garnish Cilantro
- to taste Salt
- 2 tablespoon Oil
Instructions
- If using fresh chana, remove the beans from the skin. I used frozen green garbanzo beans. Cook the beans with enough water and salt in pressure cooker for about 4 whistles.
- Chop the paneer into bite size cubes and then keep it immersed in warm water to soften it.
- In a pan, heat the oil and then add the cumin seeds. Add the chopped onions and sauté until it turns translucent.
- Then Add all the dry masala powders and sauté it for about a minute. Make sure to add just enough salt needed for the masala as the chana is already cooked with salt.
- Add the tomato and fry until the tomatoes are cooked and the masala becomes aromatic.
- Add the cooked chana with the water and let it come to a boil. Simmer for about 10 minutes and then add the paneer cubes.
- Simmer for about 5 to 8 more minutes stirring carefully to avoid breaking the paneer pieces.
- Garnish with cilantro and serve.
