Chana Masala is one dish I would love to try different recipes with variations. I loved this easy method of pressure cooking everything together which I learnt from my aunt recently. This goes well poori , rotis or even any mild pulaos.

Chana Masala Recipe Step by Step
Serve hot with bhatura / rotis! Pin
Expert Tips
Adjust water according to the consistency you want the gravy to be. Pressure cook chana until soft as in the last stage we are going to cook for just 1 whistle. This way I find the masalas blend very well with chana. I dont usually add chana masala powder, always use homemade garam masala powder instead. Adding pepper is purely optional, if you dont like the flavour then just skip it.
Pin Chana Masala is one sidedish I never get bored of…I vaguely remember ordering chana masala in restaurants as Amma makes the best channa/chole masala according to me. Pin We make both versions one without coconut which I have posted nd this version of chana masala with coconut. I prefer the non coconut version with rotis and this one with pooris…..sounds weird ?! but thats how I am used to eating 🙂 Chana Batura is a very popular combination but am yet to try my hands with batura am sure to post it here soon hopefully. Pin Mittu loves chana masala too and with the combo of poori she enjoys.Mittus school has closed and next yr she will be into LKG. I still remember the day she joined school for Prekg and here the one year flew by just like a minute.Now lets get on how to make chana masala recipe. Ingredients
Method
Squeeze lemon juice and serve with pooris. Serve with lemon wedges and onions rings. Pin
Tips
Make sure to cook chana till soft else ti will not absorb the gravy well. The consistency is purely your choice – If you want more like a kuzhambu consistency then switch off accordingly. If you dont have chana masala powder then skip it and increase garam masala powder to 1 teaspoon.Even without chana masala powder this tastes great as I have made it many times without it.
