ONE POT Chana kurma

Protein-rich south Indian style Chana kurma in a pressure cooker is super easy to make and tastes delicious.  

SHOULD I SOAK chickpea overnight?

Yes always soak chickpeas overnight as it helps for better cooking and digestion. if you are soaking for a few hours, use hot water. For overnight soaking, you can use cold water.

CAN I ADD  SALT WHILE COOKING chickpea?

Yes, if you are directly pressure-cooking chickpeas adding salt helps to avoid overcooking. Also, Chana absorbs salt flavor. Adjust whistles according to the chana you use.

Should I use measured water for cooking Chana?

It is optional but as we are reusing the water for kurma and making the recipe beginner friendly I prefer doing it
