METHOD:
If u r using fresh kala channa, in telugu we call nalla channagalu, in English its black chick pea, soak the kala channa overnight and pressure cook them by adding some salt to it.

In these busy days of work I mostly prefer to get frozen ones, which save some time for us. It’s available in Indian grocery stores.

First take a sauce pan and heat it up, Later when the pan is hot enough add oil and let the oil warm up, when the oil is ready add jeera to it and fry till the jeera turn its color to liter golden then add curry leaves if u want to make it some spicy u can add whole red chilli at this time and fry. Then add onions sliced and fry till golden brown. When the onions are well fried later add the frozen kala channa or the fresh one u cooked. And mix it well later add red chilli powder and salt and fry for 5 minutes, ur kala channa fry is ready to serve. Remove it in a serving bowl and garnish with fresh coriander.
