Theme: One veggie cooked in 3 ways
For the second day with cooking one vegetable in three ways I have a simple yet flavorful curry made from these fresh green Channa. The green Channa is a winter supply and I have this post from my drafts. Since I made it in winters I served this with rice and radish and chilly ginger pickle, which are a winter specialty too. These Channa are made in a typical Punjabi style.

This dish is another favorite just like roasted hara chana. I loved your version!
Lipsmacking sabzi, just want to enjoy this dish with some rotis.
I never made a curry with fresh green Chana. It is always sautéed as a snack or goes into pualos. Curry is tempting and maybe I should try it with some frozen green Chana that I have in my freezer.
I love such gravies..goes so well with rotis right..
MMm this is delicious Vaishali. We will absolutely love it.
I have only had fresh Chana in dry recipes. This one with gravy looks awesome
I made this once for Haryana region, but have not posted it in the blog. Looks wonderful Vaishali!
That is a delicious curry with fresh chickpeas.

This is my favorite. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. Looks so delicious and spicy.
