Method

1. Take chickpeas in a pressure cooker. Add three cups of water. Tie tea leaves and dried amla in a piece of muslin cloth and add along with salt.
2. Cook under pressure for four to five whistles or until the chickpeas are completely done and tender. Remove the muslin cloth bag.
3. Puree three tomatoes and cut the remaining into one-inch cubes. Roast one teaspoon cumin seeds. Cool and powder. Heat two tablespoons oil in a pan. Add the remaining cumin seeds.

5. Add drained chana and mix well. Adjust salt and simmer for five to ten minutes. Take it off the heat. Heat the remaining oil in another pan.
