CHANA UPKARI

A simple side dish which loved by every one here. My mother- in- law used to prepare every Friday on my father- in- law's demand.  I am preparing it for the first time after my MIL'S death, 3 years ago. Usually small chana is used for this upkari, because of the thickness of it's skin and better taste than kabuli chana. But here i used kabuli chana. Here is the recipe....

WHAT YOU NEED:

Chana - 1/2 cup
