This recipe yielded perfect results. I'm truly thrilled. I have only one comment: When boiling the chana in pressure cooker, lower heat after the first whistle and then let cook for 35 minutes. In general, when cooking anything in pressure cooker one should switch to timed cook at low heat after first whistle because once steam is built up within cooker, low heat is sufficient to maintain pressure. Multiple whistles, simply result in unnecessary loss of heat, pressure and water.
