How To Make Gujarati Rasawala Chana: Black Chickpea Curry [Vegan, Gluten Free]

  1. Rinse and wash the black chickpeas well. Soak in enough water overnight. Next morning pressure cook for about 6-7 whistles on medium heat, until they are tender. They shouldn't be mushy.
  2. Heat oil in a kadai/heavy bottomed pot. Add mustard seeds.
  3. Once they splutter, add besan (if there are too many lumps in the besan, sift and use ) and sauté another 30 secs on medium-low heat or until the besan turns brown in color.
  4. Add in the chickpeas and mix well.
  5. Add red chilli, turmeric, cumin-coriander powders, jaggery and tamarind water. Mix it well and sauté for another minute.
  6. Add 1 & 1/2 cups of water, mix it well and let it cook for 8-10 minutes until the curry thickens, stirring occasionally. Adjust the consistency as per your requirement. The curry has a tendency to thicken when it gets cold. You can add some water and reheat it to adjust the consistency. Enjoy it with roti/rice.
