Channa Masala - Simple Way

I had channa masala with Idiyappam for breakfast today. I was in a rush and made a very simplified form of channa masala.

Ingredients:

1 cup channa dal

1 spoon red chilli powder

1 tomato coarsely cut

2 spoons dhaniya powder

1 spoon ginger garlic paste

1 spoon garam masala powder

Cinnamon stick and clove

Salt to taste

Method:

Soak the channa dal overnite . Pressure cook them for 20 mins , till they become soft. In a wok add oil and fry the spices, cinnamon and cloves. To this add the boiled channa, along with Red chilli powder , dhaniya powder and salt. Add a little water along with ginger garlic paste and bring it to boil. When the masala consistency is reached , you can sprinkle garam masala powder and serve it with garnished cilantro.

Though this was done in a hurry , the taste turned out to be good and delectable.
