Chana Dal Sabzi

Chana dal sabzi is a new sabzi recipe for me. I got this recipe from a relative. It is often cooked in Haryana. Chana Dal sabzi is a dry sabzi. We can make it semi gravy too but the dry chana dal sabzi version is better then the semi gravy because if we add gravy to the chana dal, it does not remain chana dal sabzi any more, it becomes a regular chana dal dish.I washed and soaked chana dal in water for 2 hours for this sabzi recipe. We need to keep the chana dal soaked as we are not going to cook it in pressure cooker, instead it is cooked in a kadai. So softer the chana dal, less cooking time for the chana dal sabzi. I used regular spices like cumin seeds, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala.. to make chana dal sabzi like any other sabzi.
