Ingredients
- 100 g Black Chickpeas (washed, soaked overnight, and pressure cooked)
- 900 ml Water (for soaking and cooking)
- 3 Whole Black Cardamom (2 for pressure cooking, 1 for tempering)
- 1.25 tsp Salt (for cooking and seasoning)
- 5 g Green Chilli (peeled and chopped)
- 10 stems Coriander Leaves (5 root-cut for sautéing, 5 minced for garnish)
- 1.5 tsp Coriander Powder
- 0.5 tsp Garam Masala
- 0.25 tsp Turmeric
- 1 tsp Amchur Powder
- 3 tbsp Ghee
- 0.5 tsp Jeera
- 0.25 tsp Hing
- 50 g Boiled Chickpea Water (reserved from cooking)
Instructions
Prepare initial tempering and aromatics
Add 2 tbsp Ghee, 0.5 tsp Jeera, and 0.25 tsp Hing to The Upliance jar. Select sauté mode on high heat for 1 minute with automatic stirring until fragrant. Then, add 5 g peeled Green Chilli, 1 Whole Black Cardamom, and 5 stems root-cut Coriander Leaves to the jar.
Chop and sauté aromatics
The Upliance will now automatically chop the added aromatics on a high speed for a short duration (10 seconds). Following this, the device will sauté the aromatics on high heat for 1.5 minutes with automatic stirring, ensuring they are perfectly fragrant.
Add spices and cook Chana
Repeat the above process by adding 1.5 tsp Coriander Powder, 0.5 tsp Garam Masala, 0.25 tsp Turmeric, 1 tsp Amchur Powder, and 0.5 tsp Salt to The Upliance jar. The device will sauté these spices with the aromatics on medium heat. Then, add the pressure-cooked black chickpeas and 50g reserved chickpea water to the jar, and Upliance will cook them with the spices on medium heat for 7 minutes with automatic stirring.
The dish is ready
Once cooked, your Navratri Dry Chana is ready. The Upliance will prompt you to garnish with 1 tbsp of Ghee and 5 stems minced Coriander Leaves for a final touch. Serve hot.
