Cooking Instructions

  1. Wash and soak chana dal for 2 hours. Drain and grind coarsely with green chillies and ginger, adding minimal water. The batter should be thick and grainy, not smooth.

  2. Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add asafoetida and turmeric powder. Stir for 10 seconds.

  3. Add the ground chana dal mixture to the pan. Stir well to coat with the tempering.

  4. Add water and salt. Cover and cook on medium heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the dal is cooked through and the mixture is dry and crumbly.

  5. Remove from heat. Add lemon juice and sugar. Mix well — the sweet-sour balance is characteristic of Gujarati-influenced snacks from this region.

  6. Taste and adjust salt, lemon, and sugar to achieve a balanced sweet-sour-spicy flavour.

  7. Transfer to a serving plate and spread evenly.

  8. Top generously with sev (thin chickpea noodles).

  9. Garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves and pomegranate seeds.

  10. Serve immediately as a snack or light meal.
