Oil free chana.
To prepare this dish, start with boiled chana or motor, or kabuli chola. In a pressure cooker, add whole cumin seeds, chopped onion, tomato, ginger, garlic, green chilies, turmeric, salt, and garam masala powder, along with water. Pressure cook for three whistles. After this, everything will be cooked and you should have enough water. Add the chana and boil until the water reduces. Finally, add coriander leaves, and the dish will be ready. If desired, for an additional step, add one teaspoon of ghee and sauté ginger, green chilies, and then pour this tadka over the dal for enhanced flavor. However, even if this step is skipped, the dish will still be enjoyable.
