ALOO CHANA IN GREEN GRAVY
Aloo Chana in Green Gravy - This is one of the simplest and delicious recipe prepared with potatoes and chickpeas, flavored with mint and coriander leaves. Whenever I soak chana ,I always go with chana masala and this time with a slight twist I came with this recipe. In this gravy, I have used only turmeric powder, so add and adjust spice powders according to your taste. This goes very well with hot roti's :)
Preparation time : 15 minutes
Cooking time : 35 minutes
For this recipe you need
