Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Ganga108 on May 10, 2021

    There is some confusion in the recipe in my book as it specifies horse gram lentils as kala channa (black chickpeas). They are different. It is more traditional with black chickpeas than horse gram (both available at Indian groceries). Most variations use larger pulses like dried peas (yellow, green or white) - not smaller lentils like horse gram. However it'd probably be Ok with horse gram, just a different textured dish. Describing this dish as "Tasteful" is a lovely older use of the word, and taken literally (rather than modern usage) is so good. Probably best translated as "Extremely tasty". This dish is also a street food, much loved in parts of India, and very tasty.
