Dahi Chane Ki Subzi

DAHI CHANE KI SUBZI

Ingredients
1 cup red chana (whole red gram), soaked overnight
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds (jeera)
1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds (rai)
2 bay leaves
4 whole red chillies
1/8 teaspoon asafoetida (hing)
1 teaspoon ginger-green chilli paste
1 teaspoon chilli powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder (haldi)
1 cup curds (yoghurt)
2 teaspoons Bengal gram flour (besan)
4 tablespoons chopped coriander
1 tablespoon oil
salt to taste

Method

1. Heat the oil in a pressure cooker, add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, bay leaves, red chilies and asafoetida. When the seeds crackle, add the red chana, ginger-green chilli paste, chilli powder, turmeric powder and salt with 2 cups of water.

2. Pressure cook for 2 to 3 whistles till the channa is cooked.

3. Whisk the curds and gram flour together and add the mixture to the cooked chana. Bring to a boil and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes. Stir this continuously till the mixture comes to a boil since the curds can split if they are not stirred.

4. Serve hot garnished with the coriander.
