Channa Malika

Channa
Ingredients:

• 1 can of channa(pre-cooked)
• 1 small onion diced
• 2 small potatoes diced
• 2 small tomatoes diced
• 1/2" ginger grated
• 1/2 tsp of channa masala
• 1/2 tsp of chili powder
• 1/4 cup of oil

Method:
Drain the liquid from the can. Rinse the channa and set aside. In a pan heat the oil on medium heat. Add the onions and using a large spoon saute the onions till they look wilted. Add the ginger and potatoes and saute further for another 10 minutes. The potatoes should all be cooked and be pretty mushy. Then add the tomatoes and continue to cook on medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes. Keep stirring till the cooking contents looks like a thick gravy and all the raw smell disappears. Add about a 1/4 cup of water if the contents look too dry. Add the pre-cooked channa, 1/2 tsp of salt and cook for 2 minutes and turn off the heat.
Cooking tips:For more flavoring add 1/2 " of a cinnamon stick and 2 bay leaves with the ginger. Add fresh chopped cilantro, onions just before serving.
Serving tips:
Serve channa with batura, naan, rotis, pocket pita or flavored rice.
