Black channa masala with step by step pictures.
Usually, I am not much interested in this black channa aka kale channa and I always end up buying White channa/Kabuli channa.the main reason is this black variety takes much time to get cooked and even after pressured cooked well I would feel that it is not much cooked and my kids too don't like this variety.
