Amazing Malai Chana Masala recipe!
Step 1: Boil Chana & Gravy Base
Soak the chana dal (split chickpeas). Pressure cook the chana with salt and water (2 whistles).
Separately, in a tiffin box, boil the gravy ingredients alongside the chana (2-3 whistles): onion, garlic, tomato, soaked cashews, and peanuts. Add a little salt, oil, and water.
Step 2: Prepare Paste
Cool the boiled onion and tomato mixture, then blend it into a smooth paste.
Step 3: Fry the Paste
Heat oil in a pan. Add 1 tsp cumin (jeera) and a bay leaf. Once they splutter, add the paste and fry until the oil begins to separate.
Step 4: Add Spices and Curd
In a bowl, mix 2-3 tbsp curd (dahi) with turmeric powder, red chili powder, chana masala, and kasuri methi.
Add this spice-curd mixture to the frying paste and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 5: Finish the Curry
Add the boiled chana to the masala.
Add water for your desired gravy consistency and simmer briefly.
Serve hot with Naan, Kulcha, or Poori! Thank you for sharing the recipe! 😋
