“Hare Chane ki Sabji” is very simple to cook. We can make both dry and gravy veggie. This recipe is for gravy. I have used gram flour (besan) to thicken up the gravy.

Let us start cooking!!!

Ingredients:
Hara chana: 200 gms (1 cup)
Ghee: ½ tbsp.
Asafetida: a pinch
Mustard seeds: ¼ tsp
Cumin seeds: ½ tsp
Curry leaves: 3-4
Turmeric powder: ¼ tsp
Coriander powder: 1 tsp
Red chili powder: ½ tsp
Gram flour: 1 tbsp
Water: 2 cups
Lemon juice: 2-3 drops
Salt as per taste

Method:

1. Heat ghee in a pressure cooker.
2. Add asafetida and mustard seeds. Let the seeds crackle.
3. Add cumin seeds and curry leaves. Fry for a few seconds.
4. Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well. You have to be very quick so as the masalas do not burn.

5. Add gram flour and roast for a few seconds. It will get roasted fast.

6. Add water slowly, making sure that no lumps remain.

7. Add the hara chana. Close the pressure cooker lid.

8. Let the cooker whistle one on high flame and 3-4 on low flame.
9. Switch off the gas. Remove the pressure from the cooker. This technique lets the chana color retain.
10. Add lemon juice and mix well. Press the hara chana between your fingers. If it gets crushed easily, it is cooked. otherwise, you need to cook it more.

11. Serve hot with roti, paratha etc.
12. Yummy “Hara Chana Rassedar Sabji” is ready.

Tips:
1. Instead of gram flour, you can even use whole wheat flour.
2. The quantity of water can be adjusted as per one’s choice.
