NOTES

1. You can try the same recipe with kabuli chana ,use cooked kabuli chana white or brown or use any bean .
2. Instead of garam masala pwdr or chana masala pwdr  ,  you can use ready made biryani masala pwdr and your chana biryani will be ready.
3. I cooked it in the pressure cooker without whistle.
4. If using whistle then pressure cook upto 2 whistles.
5. You can omit tomato and use ½ lemon juice.
6. The dal should be whole , it should not become mushy or it will look like khichdi.
7. Y not gv twist by adding pav bhaji masala .
