Hi, really liked the way you showed this, not sure why you put tea bags in the sauce? does it taste like tea?

[ranjani24]

@SONAMJOSH123 I just put in the tea bags to darken the beans, and no it doesn't flavor the beans!

QQ: Whats the difference between Chole Masala and Chana Masala?

[ranjani24]

@viralpatel15 It's the same thing!

hi ranjani24...congratulations on the presentation, i need to know a couple of things, how much water did u add in the cooker with the peas and did you drain that water or used it in the curry? please shed some light on this. thx in anticipation.

[ranjani24]

For 1 cup of garbanzo beans..soak them in 3-4 cups of water overnight, drain them the next day and pressure cook with fresh 3-3.5 cps of water. I retained about 2 cups of the cooking liquid and used it and you must have noticed in the video.

RED WINE with Punjabi Channas.............That is a switch

But then..........WHY NOT

Great presentation. On the way to market. Wanted to make sure I remembered ingredients; haven't made chana for a while. Never knew about the dried mango powder. What did you call it again? spelling? I'm sure I can find it in Jackson Heights.
