Step 1

To make this delicious snack recipe, soak the black chickpeas in water overnight. Once done, wash them, add enough water and pressure cook them for 3-4 whistles. Now heat a pan over moderate flame. Add red chilli, chana dal, urad dal and coriander seeds in the pan and dry fry the ingredients till they turn golden brown. Remove from flame and allow to cool.

Step 2

Now transfer these ingredients in a blender and grind them into a fine powder and keep aside. Heat a pan and add oil in it over moderate flame. Add asafoetida, mustard seeds and curry leaves. Once the mustard seeds start to splutter, add the cooked black chickpeas, ground masala powder, green chilli and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring continuously until all ingredients are well combined. Transfer the scrumptious snack in a serving bowl and garnish with grated coconut and stir well. You can serve this flavourful recipe with a piping hot cup of filter coffee or ginger tea.
