Kaala Channa fry

I like to make this very simple, savory dish on days that I feel like snacking all day!

Ingredients:
1 cup black chick peas (Kaala chana)
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1 pinch asafoetida
4-5 curry leaves
3-4 green chilies
1/4 tsp sugar/jaggery(optional)
2-3 tbsp fresh/frozen coconut
A little oil
Salt

Method:
  1. Soak the legumes overnight 
  2. Discard water and pressure cook them till they are soft.
  3. Heat oil and add mustard seeds. 
  4. When they start popping, add curry leaves, green chilies, asafoetida. 
  5. Now add cooked chane, salt, sugar/jaggery and cook for 5-6mins. 
  6. Garnish with coconut, mix well and serve.
