If you have pre cooked chana, its very convenient, else soak the chana over night and pressure cook till tender.

Heat a non stick pan with oil. Sauté the finely chopped onions till they start changing colour, then add onion paste, ginger garlic paste. Cook on high as you keep sauting, this takes about 5 mins.

Then add the tomatoes puree, salt and turmeric powder. Simmer for 5 minutes till the mix is all nicely combined.

Now add in chili powder, cumin powder and chana masala powders. Combine everything well and again simmer for 5 mins with lid closed.

Then add in the boiled kala channa, mix and cook in high for 2 mins. Add 1 cup of water or the same water you used for boiling the chana. Bring to boil and simmer for 5 minutes or till the gravy is thick enough.

Finally before switching off, sprinkle the garam masala and coriander leaves. cook for 1 min and remove from flame.
Serve with Aloo Ki Poori
