  • 1. Prepare the Kala Chana:
    - Wash the black chickpeas (kala chana) and soak them for 6-8 hours or overnight.
    - Drain the water and cook the chickpeas in a pressure cooker with 2 cups of water and 2 teaspoons of salt until you hear about 5-6 whistles.

    2. Prepare the Coconut Paste:
    - Break and peel the coconut, then clean it.
    - Take thin slices of coconut and set them aside.
    - In a mixer jar, combine coconut slices, roughly chopped onion, tomato, ginger, garlic, green chilli, and a little water.
    - Blend into a fine and thick paste.

    3. Cooking Process:
    - Heat oil in a cooking pot. Add mustard seeds and let them crackle, then add curry leaves and sauté for a few seconds.
    - Add the coconut paste to the pot and sauté. Add powdered spices (excluding garam masala) and cook until the masala releases oil.
    - Pour in the water used to boil the chickpeas once the masala is cooked.
    - Once the water boils, add the boiled kala chana and mix well.
    - Use the back of a ladle to mash some chickpeas for a thicker gravy. Add garam masala and cook for about 10 minutes.
    - Check and adjust the seasoning.
