    This is yet another recipe written a while ago when I was browsing through Tarla Dalal's recipes. Since I seem to be always making channas so often, I thought I must try many as variations as they come. And I have a huge collection of channa dishes. So this is yet another recipe of the author.
    Kadhai Chhole is nothing related to the name, it's named simply because it is made in a kadhai. Otherwise the masala used is the regular north indian masala. However since Konda loved this so much, I thought I can't miss out the chance of sharing it here for her sake. This happened on one of the weekdays when I was not sure what to make for dinner. I had a huge can of chana soaked and cooked. So hubby dear suggested I make a good option of cooking that for dinner.
    I must say it was the best suggestion as the channa lived up to it's name.

    Kadhai Chole

    Preparation Time: 10 mins.
    Cooking Time: 20 mins.
    Serves 4.

    Ingredients Needed:

    Kabuli Channa - 1 cup, soaked overnight
    Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp
    Onions, finely chopped - 1 cup
    Ginger Garlic paste -1  tsp
    Tomatoes - 1 big
    Chole Masala - 1 tsp
    Chili powder - 1 tsp
    Amchur / Dry Mango powder -1/2 tsp
    Turmeric powder a pinch
    Coriander powder - 3/4 tsp
    Cumin powder - 1/2 tsp
    Oil - 1 tsp
    Salt to taste
    Butter -1 tsp

    How to make the Kadhai Chole

    Wash and soak the chana overnight. Change water couple of times and pressure till soft. Drain and save the water.

    Heat a Kadai with oil, saute the onions till brown. Then add ginger garlic paste and saute well.

    Now add the tomatoes and cook till soft. Then add the salt and all the spice powders, simmer till the masalas are cooked well. Now add the drained chhole and cook well.

    Then add the saved water and bring to boil. Finally when the gravy thickens, add butter and switch after couple of mins

    Serve with rotis.

      Channa made in any combination tastes awesome. Adding butter at the very end is a nice trick to give richness to the dish -- will try this next time.
