2 green cardimoms (optional)
|

1 green chili (optional)
|

1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
|
||||
1 1/2 cups finely chopped tomatoes
|
||||

1/4 teaspoon turmeric
|

1 1/2 teaspoons kashmiri red chili powder
|
||||
1 teaspon garam masala
|
||||
2 teaspoon coriander powder
|
||||
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder (optional)
|
||||
1 teaspoon kasuri methi (dry fenugreek leaves, optional)

||||
1/4 teaspoon amchur (dry mango powder, optional)

```text title="Chana"
|

1 cup dry chana (raw chickpeas) or 3 cups soaked/2 15 oz cans
|

1 1/2 cups water, more for gravy
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```md title="Instructions - Chana Preparation"
|
||||
1. Rinse dried chickpeas at least 3 times to remove loose skin. Soak in 3 1/2 to 4 cups water overnight for at least 8 hours. Additionally you can add a small amount of baking soda to loosen the chana skins.
|
||||
2. Drain water and rinse well. Optionally seperate skins from chana (but keep them later to thicken sauce). Pour the recipe water in and pressure cook for 5 to 6 minutes on a stovetop or 18 minutes on high pressure in an instant pot.
|
||||
3. Check for tenderness. Fully cooked chickpeas should mash fully when squeezed.
