Eshaan Nagpal, the maestro of flavors, takes us on an epicurean journey with his Insane Pindi Chane Breakfast Recipe. Brace yourself for an explosion of taste and aroma as we delve into the intricacies of this mouthwatering dish.

The Soaking and Cooking Ritual:

Eshaan's culinary masterpiece begins with soaking one cup of kabuli chana (chickpeas) along with dried amla and a tea bag (or tied tea leaves in a cloth) for 5-6 hours. After soaking, remove the tea bag and boil the chickpeas with a pinch of salt until they are tender and perfectly cooked.

The Flavors Unleashed:

In a vessel, heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil and add a tantalizing blend of spices: 1 teaspoon ajwain, 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 2 teaspoons ginger-garlic paste, 1 teaspoon red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 3 teaspoons chana masala powder, 2 teaspoons coriander powder, 1 teaspoon aamchoor powder, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon anardana powder. Stirring continuously, cook until the masala releases its aromatic oils.

The Tomato Magic:

To this fragrant masala, add three blended tomatoes and continue to cook until the masala achieves a rich, deep hue, and the oil separates.

Bringing It All Together:

Now, introduce the boiled chickpeas along with the chana water into the masala. Mash the chickpeas slightly to enhance the texture. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

The Grand Finale:

Sprinkle a teaspoon of chana masala, add two green chilies for a touch of heat, and some ginger julienne for freshness, and pour two tablespoons of hot ghee to elevate the richness of the dish. Mix it all together, and voilà—your Pindi Chane is ready to be served.
