To serve 4 people:

Ingredients:
• 200gms of channa(chickpeas) soaked over night
• 250gms of Palak (I used frozen spinach)
• 2 big onions finely chopped
• 3 tbps of tomato puree(optional)
• 3-4 tbps of oil
• ½ tbp of cumin seeds
• 1 tbp of ginger and garlic paste
• ½ tbp of chilli pwd
• 1 tbp of kitchen king masala
• ½ tbp of garam masala
• Salt to taste
• Coriander leaves to garnish

Method:
• In a pressure cooker heat oil and add cumin seeds. Once they start to pop up add onions and fry till they are cooked.
• Add ginger and garlic paste and fry for about a minute. Add tomato puree and mix well.
• Add spinach and fry for about 3 mins.
• Add chilli pwd, kitchen king masala, garam masala and salt.
• Now add soaked channa and mix it well. Add 1 ½ cups of water.
• Cook for 3 whistles and put it aside.
• After removing the pressure cook for about 5mins in high flame.
• Garnish it with coriander leaves and serve hot with rice or roti.

Tip:
• If you are using fresh spinach then chop finely 3-4 bunches.
• Don’t use tomato puree more than 3 tbps because tomato and spinach combination is not good for health.
