Chana ki Kari

Black chickpea curry — desi chana (small black chickpeas) soaked overnight and pressure-cooked in a mustard oil-based gravy with onion, tomato, coriander, and whole spices. A staple protein element of the Chhattisgarhi rice plate, also eaten with angakar roti. The small, dark, intensely flavoured desi chana has a denser texture than kabuli chickpeas.
