Lahori chana attempt #1

 I transcribed the recipe from this video, but halved everything.  The video was recommended in this thread.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

250g chickpea soaked overnight in 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp baking soda

Drain and rinse.

Cook in pressure cooker with 1/2 tsp salt for 25-30 minutes. Let depressurize naturally for 10.

Heat 1/4 c oil.  Add 2 green cardamom, 2 **small** black cardamom, 1.5" cinnamon stick, 1 star anise, 10 black peppercorns

Add 1-2 tsp red chili flakes and fry stirring continuously for 1-2 min.

Add a little water and fry 1-2 min more (??)

Add 1 onion worth of onion paste and cook 4-5 min until oil separates.

Add 1 Tbsp ginger+garlic paste and fry 1-2 min.

Add 1/2 Tbsp coriander powder, 1/2 tsp cumin seed, 1/2 tsp salt and cook 1-2 min. 

Add 75 g yogurt and cook 3-4 min (on low).

Add boiled chickpeas, with 1 cup removed and processed into a paste.  Cook 3-4 min.

Add chickpea paste.

Now add boiled chickpea water (about 1 C) and 3-4 green chilies.

Cook uncovered over low flame for 10 min.

Add 1 Tbsp ground black pepper (or to taste) and cook 1-2 min.

You can adjust with more water if needed.
