Notes about Recipes in this book

• Chana (Chole, Chholay) masala

  • Dcampos on February 09, 2020

    Lots of ingredients but worth the effort.

• Chickpea poppers

  • Ganga108 on May 10, 2025

    Yum yum. A great snack on a Saturday afternoon. Quite addictive.

    She has added this to her online recipe - it is a simpler version to the popper sala (chana chaat) in the same book: "Make an easy chaat with these poppers. With one cup of cooked chickpeas, add chopped onion, tomato, cilantro, lemon juice and a pinch of kala namak. Top it off with tamarind chutney. Serve it all on individual lettuce leaves for a fun variation on a salad." Also, a commenter says "Also try soaking overnight and sprouting for 10-12 hours and do the baking part and skip the cook part!"

• Mom's mung sprout salad

  • nicolepellegrini on August 11, 2018

    Crisp, unusual, and refreshing. Like a distant cousin of a potato salad. I don't like cucumbers so I substituted radishes, and cut back a bit on the cayenne and chiles so it wasn't too spicy. Would make again.

• String beans with toasted chana dal

  • nicolepellegrini on June 08, 2020

    A nice string bean side dish. I liked the toasty/nutty touch added by the chana dal.
