Black Chickpeas Sauteed/ Kala Chana Masala

Black Chickpeas Sauteed (Kala Chana Masala)

This Black Chickpeas Sauteed or Kala Chana Masala is a delicious Indian main course dish. This is a famous dish in almost all parts of country. I have used my stored curry paste to prepare the dish. You can either use the curry paste or make fresh paste of onion and ginger garlic. Also add few whole spices while grinding the paste. You can use chopped onion and tomato as well.

One thing you have to take care is soak the chickpeas for 8 hours or more. Then wash off and pressure cook for 8 - 10 whistles. To give it a variation you can add boiled potatoes to the preparation.

This is one healthy food and can be used as weight-loss recipe without adding potatoes. Again its a great food option for Keto Diet.
