Directions
Curried Chick-Peas ( Chana Dal),Found on alleasyrecipes.com. Posted for ZWT8- India.,Listing tea leaves as an ingredient seems vague. Can you be more specific please? I am eager to try the recipe. Thank you!,Not a huge chickpea fan, so I thought all these spices would make this much more enjoyable! I was right. I left my chickpeas to soak while I was at work (about 10 hours), and then cooked them. Seemed to work just fine. Made for ZWT8.
