Red chili powder - 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Cooking oil - 2 tbsp
Hing (asafetida) - 1/4 tsp
Cumin seeds - 1tsp
Ginger, sliced - 1 tbsp
Cilantro - for garnishing (optional)

Method
Soak in water over night and pressure cook chana with few tsp of ghee and salt for 5-6 whistles.
Once pressure cooked, release the pressure and strain chana and keep it aside.
Next make paste of dry spices with 1 tbsp water. making paste with water ensures that the the spices will not burn on cooking.
Heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds, heeng and sliced ginger and cook. Now add water soaked spices and cook till oil is released.
Once oil is released, mix boiled chana , add more salt to adjust the taste and add some water and cook chana by covering the pan for 3-5 minutes
