Kadale Usli in Kannada (Chana fry)

Mom used to prepare usli during Ganesha festival. Until puja was complete, we were not allowed to eat anything. Dad is a perfectionist, he used to usually do all decorations for Ganesha and finally the puja used to happen by 2PM. Me n sissy used to always have a eye on kitchen for the varieties that was getting prepared. As soon as dad used to complete puja, we used to run to the kitchen and grab usli on to our plates I used to make paper potlis and share it with my all my friends near our house.

There are few wonderful memories filled in all authentic dishes. Don't you agree?

Ingredients:

Kadale or Chana: 1 Cup
Finely chopped onions : 1
Green chillies : 3
Lime Juice: 1tsp
Mustard seeds: 1tsp
Oil : 2 Tsp
Curry leaves: 4

Method:

Soak Chana for 7 hours. Boil chana in the cooker by adding 1 tsp salt for 3 whistles(again depends on the cooker). Intention is to cook well and not make it mushy.

Heat oil in a kadai, add mustard seeds and let it spurt out. Add onion, green chillies, curry leaves and fry well.

Add cooked chana and toss it.
Switch of the gas stove.Add coriander leaves and lime juice.

Happy Cooking:)
