I've been wanting to make this ever since I saw it posted on IFF by Nanditha Suresh about a
month back. The right time finally came when I soaked kala-chana
intending to make it for dinner, only to be told we had been invited to a
housewarming party instead. I could have dumped it in the freezer for
making another day, but decided to try the recipe out.
And it was absolutely delicious! Not to polish off an entire bowlful with a cup of tea and a good book.
2 cups chickpeas
1 tbsp oil
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/3 tsp haldi powder
Salt to taste
Method:
Soak the chickpeas overnight and pressure cook (1 whistle). Drain the chickpeas and let it dry completely.
Pre-heat oven to 200 degree celcius for 5 minutes.
In
a bowl mix chickpeas and oil. Toss it well. In another cup, mix the dry
spices well to make sure the flavours blend well. Now combine the
oil-coated chickpeas with the dry spices. Ensure all the ingredients are
mixed well.
Now,
place the chickpeas mixture on a baking tray and spread it well. Place
it in the pre-heated oven. In the same temperature, let it roast for 30 minutes or till browned.
Now the healthy and tasty snack is ready to be served.
