It was a lazy sunday morning…Got up late asusual and was pondering on what to make for breakfast..
Asked my husband Rohit, hoping may be he would suggest having breakfast outside:P
But he said make something jhatpat…
I frowned at him and looked into the fridge and what I found!!!
A bowl of Kala Chana
which I had soaked a day before and the excess I had kept in the fridge..
so was born this recipe …
Ingredients
kala chana – 250 gms.Soaked overnight
green chillies – 2 small sliced and minced
1 big onion- cut into small pieces
turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp

Oil- 1 tbsp
Method:
