Chanay ka salan

HinaS · Apr 23rd, 2009, 07:03 PM

Hey Guys,
I had this amazing kalay (black) channay ka salan. It was ultimate comfort food!
It wasnt the traditional kalay channay ki chaat, but an actual brown salan (curry). I think it may be a Punjabi dish originally but I'm not sure. If anyone has a recipe please post it!

Thank you!
=)

I saw my MIL make it a few times....
She fried a medium chopped onion....added tomatoes/ginger /garlic and all the spices to it and cooked the masala...when done added the pre-soaked chanay and some water and pressure cooked it....and that's pretty much it....
hope that helps...

You mean spices..??
Salt,red chillies, zeera(cumin),haldi and sookha dhaniya powder....the usual spices that go into any desi salan...

Hope that helps...!

I think I know what your referring to..my mum makes kaale chane which have like shorba and are dark brown but at times she makes chikar cholay (dont know why they call it that) and they are a lighter brown/orange colour with a lot of masala...and with lemon on them they taste absolutely delicious....!!
