Channa Masala - Easy One pot Channa Masala



I already share a version of no onion,garlic channa masala  and Punjabi Chole Masala.Channa masala  can be made in umpteen ways with so many twists.

One such easy and comfortable way of making it in a  pressure cooker.One pot version saves time and effort but the end result will be finger licking good.

If the chickpeas /channa is soaked and refrigerated then can be made in no time.This version can be called as curry in a hurry.Here I have used the homemade channa masala powder,but it can be easily substituted with  garam masala and aamchur powder.Let's move on to the recipe......................

Rava Kozhukattai/Rava Pidi kozhukattai

For the alphabet R,I decided to make something with rava aka semolina.But I have blogged most of the  rava recipes  in Tamil cuisine. When I was going through the cook books and hand written recipes,rava kozhukattai caught my attention. The method of making this kozhukattai is same as  upma kozhukattai ,whereas rava/semolina is used instead of rice.Both sweet and savory versions can be made with semolina.As we had lot of sweet dishes in the previous week I made the savory version.Soon share the sweet version.This is a great option for evening snack and I served with coconut chutney.Lets move on to the  recipe............                                                                                          ...
