Steps to Make Old Delhi Vs New Delhi

Doodhi Chana

The charm of old delhi lies not just in its incredible sites, but also in the general hustle and bustle created by its narrow lanes and the everyday lives lived within its confines.

Recipe Summary Doodhi Chana

I first ate this curry at a friend's house in Delhi and loved it. It is a simple everyday curry. Serve with plain rice or hot phulkas.

Ingredients | Old Delhi Vs New Delhi

1 calabash gourd, peeled and cut into cubes

½ cup split Bengal gram (chana dal)

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

3 cups water

2 tablespoons cooking oil

4 dried red chile peppers, broken into pieces

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon ground red pepper

salt to taste

1 teaspoon white sugar

Directions

Combine the calabash, chana dal, turmeric, and water in a pressure cooker. Seal the pressure cooker and cook at high pressure for about 20 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer another 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the pressure to release naturally.

Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Fry the red chile peppers and cumin seeds until the seeds begin to splutter; add the ginger and garlic to the mixture and cook together 1 minute more. Stir the calabash mixture, ground red pepper, sugar, and salt into the mixture; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook another 5 minutes before serving.
