Chatpati Chana Dal
How many of you remember those roadside ‘khhumcha wala’ selling a paper-cone full of masala chana dal or chana-jor-garam just in Rs. 10 or so??!!!
Although I’m not allowed to have much of street food, many a times I had it with friends, cousins or colleagues at various places… but I always miss having that chatpati chana dal outside a pantaloons store. Something so yummy to munch after hours of shopping ;) When you miss something, you always try bringing those moments back… n I did that too! Made the same chana dal for an evening snack, which didn’t last for more than 2 days in that container…
Try out this home-made, crunchy, delicious ‘Chatpati Chana Dal’ @ home n I bet you’ll forget stall/store-bought ones!!!
