Method Of Preparation -
Soak Kabuli Chana overnight. [As mentioned in point f here, I soaked them for about 24 hrs.]
I precooked the soaked chana and cooked chana al dente with adequate water on the stove top. (It took me about 18-20 min. But the time varies according to the chana variety, soaked time and amount of water used.)

In a sauce pan, heat oil and add the seasoning in the order specified. After the mustard seeds pop, saute the minced garlic for a few seconds. Then add the finely chopped onions and saute till they are golden brown. Also add in chopped green chillies and turmeric.
Add the cooked chana and saute for a minute or two. Add salt and sprinkle the coconut. Mix well and remove from fire.
[Garnish with chopped coriander leaves if preferred.]
Squeeze a little lemon juice and serve it as a snack or as an accompaniment for Rice and enjoy!!
