Instructions for Malvani Kala Chana Masala Recipe - Spicy Kala Chana Curry

    1

    To begin making the Malvani Chana Masala Recipe, we will first keep the ingredients ready for the malvani masala.

    2

    Preheat a pan over medium heat; add the spices for the malvani masala into the pan and roast for about a minute until you can smell the aromas coming through. You will also notice the spices change color, as they are getting roasted.

    3

    Once roasted, allow the spices to cool. Once cooled, blend them into a smooth powder and keep aside.

    4

    In the meantime pressure cook the soaked chana for at least 6 to 10 whistle or for 25 minutes in a pressure cooker along with 3 cups of water and salt to taste. Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally.

    5

    Once the kala chana is cooked, take out about 1/4 cup of cooked chana and blend it in a mixer to a coarse paste. This is done to give a thick texture to the Malvani kala chana gravy.

    6

    Once the chana is blended, keep it aside.

    7

    Heat oil in a kadai over medium heat; add mustard seeds and cumin seeds and allow it to crackle for few seconds.

    8

    Add chopped garlic and sauté till they soften. Add in the powdered Malvani masala onto the kadai and stir fry for a few seconds.  

    9

    Stir in the ground kala chana masala paste, the cooked chana masala, tamarind water, jaggery and cream and give it a stir.

    10

    Check the salt and spices and adjust to taste accordingly. Add water if required to give the Malvani Kala Chana Masala a curry like consistency.

    11

    Bring the Malvani Kala Chana Masala to a brisk boil. Turn the heat to low and simmer the masala for about 5 minutes so the masalas get well incorporated into the Kala Chana.

    12

    Once done, turn off the heat and transfer the Malvani Kala Chana Masala to a serving bowl and serve hot.

    13

    Serve the Malvani Chana Masala Recipe along with Malabar ParottaSteamed RiceBeetroot, Carrot & Cucumber Salad with Peanuts for lunch or dinner.
