BM #85 Week 3 Day 1 - 

This week I shall showcase main course gravy or rice dish. This is a simple and highly nutritious dish traditionally made in the city of Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. The black chickpeas are simmered in a gram flour-yogurt gravy with spices to make it a delightful dish.
This is also referred to as Kala Chana Kadhi.

  2. Such a delicious kala channa gravy, tried this dish long back. Feel like having this dish with some rotis as well, inviting Jaisalmeri Kala channa.

     
  3. I made this chana once and was so good. Am sure even your version is equally good. Yogurt and chana really go well, I felt.

  13. you have presented this kala chana gravy with rice and here I am craving for this. Looking very yummy.

     
  14. While making kala chana I too add some curd, but making it in curd based gravy sounds interesting.
