Good old days right...no cooking and cleaning..bliss :)
I didn't know that granny was "Ba" in Gujrati until that serial something called "Ba, Bahu etc."
The chana looks great

Trupti, I always relished Gujarati thali and as you mention the menu dished out by your family..I yearn for some authentic Gujarati meal.

I would love this curry with some hot puris. Nice recipe!

You reminded me of those childhood sundays when family and friends would gather, ladies busy in kitchen and men enjoying their Gap Shap ( chitchat) and we children enjoying the most -Eating and Playing.. :-)

Wonderful recipe with Puri's to satisfy your taste buds on a sunday brunch...

Lovely description :-) reminded me of those laid-back days playing with cousins while grownups were busy cooking, chitchatting etc..now I wanna go back to India !

Never tried chana this way - I am loving your Gujarati series :-)

Great dish...I am gonna make it tomorrow...at my sons request...I often make it using Kala channa as you have done...it has very lovely earthy taste to it...thanks for sharing...take care

Hi Trupi,
ever since i have discovered your blog i have been able to satisfy my craving for gujarati food.

thanks a lot.
waiting eagerly for upcoming recipies

Yeah, Trupti.....Mummy ke haath ka khana is something else. Yummy entry :).

We Punjabis also have a similar dish with kala chana and potato,quite similar except besan and hing. we add onion and tomato tadka instead.There's another kala chana recipe made during Navaratras, to go with halwa-puri for the prasad. Those are the dry chanas with masala, no onions and tomatoes used. will try it Gujrati way with your recipe next time :).

Interesting Trupti to know your style of cooking. The way you present your dishes are very simple and easy to follow. It is always a plasure to post our authentic food. Tks for sharing. Viji

i made this the day i made ur khadi:) i like kaala channa than the kaabul chana.
what is Marble Masala Soda? never heard of them...waiting eagerly for K's post:)

Hi Trupti -- chana bateta looks yummy! Another must-try from Canada :):)

For some reason I was unable to leave comments the last time I was here. I like making this with Green Channa too.

Your blog is just such a beautiful place to be. Amazing art, soothing music, and of course, delicious food.

Trupti i cant wait for the kachori and batura recipe!

Trupti, Love the way you present your food,will try this combo,thanks for sharing your lovely recipe.

I too use chole masala and onions for this curry trupti. Looks lovely and authentic.

hi Trupti

where's your yummy Guvar dhokli recipe gone ??? I was planning to make it for dinner tonight but couldnt find it :-(

Hey Trupti,
Your story sounds so nice! I am from a large joint family too and your story made me nostalgic of my times in India!
I had a good gujju-kutchi friend who used to live in this huge house (building) ... big joint family with all the masi's, maami's and kaaki's etc. etc. And they had this big huge kitchen where all the ladies of the house used to cook. Each was given one responsibility .. reminds me of her :-)
The aloo-chole looks groovy! Of course ultimate comfort food .. rice, kadi and aloo chole!
I did try a thepla recipe form your blog sometime back. They turned out veyr tasty! But forgot to take pictures! Next time I will!
Cheers
Latha

I made it a little while ago and we loved it. I finally got around to posting it on my blog, and I gave you lots of well-deserved credit with a link back to this recipe.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful dish with us, your loyal audience.
