Add the soaked kala chana into the pressure cooker and cook along with 2 cups of water, salt and pressure cook it for 20 minutes until the chickpeas are done.
Once done, allow the pressure to release naturally. Drain the excess water from the Kadle and keep aside. You can use the water to make rasam or soups later.
The next step is to cook the Manoli/ Tindora
Add the tindora into the pressure cooker, add 3 tablespoons water and pressure cook for 2 whistle. Release the pressure immediately to avoid over cooking.
Heat a sauce pan with oil, add mustard seeds and allow it to crackle. Add the curry leaves, garlic and onions and saute until the onions soften.
