FOR COOKING CHICKPEAS

  • 2 tbsp mustard oil
  • 2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 2-3 green chilies
  • 1 tbsp dry mango powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • Salt to taste
  • 5 cup water

Instructions
 

SOAKING

  • Add 1 cup black chickpeas in a bowl.
  • Also add water and 1 tsp salt.
  • Mix and let it remain soaked overnight.
  • In the morning, drain out the entire water and wash the chickpeas. Keep aside.

MAKING OF SPICE PASTE

  • Take red chilli powder to taste, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tbsp coriander powder and pinch of asafoetida/hing in a small bowl.
  • Add 3-4 tbsp water and make a paste. Keep aside.

COOKING OF CHICKPEAS

  • Take a heavy bottomed pan and add 2 tbsp oil in it.
  • As we are using a mustard oil, so it needs to be cooked to the smoking point.
  • Once the oil is cooked, add 2 tsp cumin seeds and 2-3 green chilies.
  • Let cumin splutter.
  • Now add the spice paste and mix. Instead of making a paste, spices could be added here individually but there's a possibility of burning them. So paste is a safe option.
  • Add chickpeas.
  • Saute them on high heat for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add 5 cup water and salt according to taste.
  • Mix and put a lid on.
  • Let the chickpeas cook until they turn soft enough to eat.
  • You can stir them at intervals but not much needed because water will not let the things stick to the bottom.
  • Once the chickpeas turn soft but still there's a water, let that water evaporate on high heat.
  • Lastly add 1 tsp garam masala and 1 tbsp dry mango powder.
  • Saute for a minute only.
  • Sukhe kale chane are ready. Enjoy.
