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......................
