Channa Jor Garam



M
ost of us like to eat quick snacks and if those are healthy then it's icing on the cake isn't it?  One of those is Channa it's simple yet so tasty.  I have soaked black chickpeas to make channa masala but endup doing this for evening snacks, so here it is Channa Jor Garam and enjoy...

Ingredients:

Black Chickpeas/Channa - 1 cup [ boiled]
Onion - 1 large [chopped]
Lemon Juice - 1/2 tbs [optional]
Cumin Seeds - 1/4 tbs
Garam Masala powder - 1/2 tbs [optional]
Chili Powder  - 1tbs
Chat Masala - 1/2 tbs
Black Salt  - 1/2 tbs
Salt - a pinch
Oil - 1 tbs


Method:

1. In a pan heat oil, add cumin seeds and allow it to splutter. Now chopped onion and fry for a min.

2. Add boiled channa, give a good stir and cook for a min.

3. Add all the masala powders, salts mix well and cook for 3-4 mins.

4. Add lemon juice, stir well and off stove.  Garnish with chopped onion and enjoy :-)



Here is the updated Picture:



Now coming over to tried and tasted, I have bookmarked so many recipes from so many blogs..I do try one or two recipes here and there..and most of the time I do not have pics :-( but whatever I manage to take I'm going to post them. 

When Madhu from Madhu's Food Journal posted Aromatic Podis I knew I'm going to try those.  I have tried her Karivepillai(Curry leaves) Podi and it was so good...am going to prepare my next batch soon.  Thanks Madhu for sharing :-)

  29. Not only healthy but it is also delicious. We get this in Bombay on the street, so yummy, they add a dash of lime,some chopped onions, some masala, corriander leaves etc and serve it in a paper cone. The chana makes me feel nostalgic.
