1
Soak Kabuli Channa overnight (To avoid this step, use canned Garbanzo Beans available at any Super Market).
2
Boil the Channa over slow heat in a covered pot with lots of water and salt (no need to add salt later).
3
Keep checking the level of water often.
4
Boil till channa is soft and can be broken by pressing between fingers.

This can take several hours.

Time can be reduced by adding baking soda (but I would not recommend).

Once the Channa is boiled and done add the spice mixture and bring it to a boil.

Notes:

Clove powder can make it spicy and hot. If you do not like it spicy avoid clove powder.
13
If you want to make it tangy increase the quantity of Dry Mango Powder or add a little tamaring juice.
