Oil - 2 tsp


Soak Channa overnight.
Pressure cook till tender.


Brown half the chopped onion in a little oil along with garlic. Add chopped tomato. Grind to make a fine paste.


Take oil in a wok.
Add the cumin seeds
Add the remaining part of onion. Saute.
And the cooked channa and the chopped spinach.
Add turmeric powder, chole masala powder, chili powder and tomato puree and ground paste.
