Hello! I made this delicious recipe but without the chana dal. Is this a dried split chickpea? If so I don’t understand how to add a teaspoon of something to a sauté that is still dried. Or are you adding it after it has previously been cooked? Please clarify.
Yes, it is dried split chickpea. You can just add it directly to oil while sautéing till it turn golden brown. Need not to be precooked. If not you can avoid it. Still the dish taste same. Thank you for trying the recipe.
I love scrambled eggs and quite often have them for lunch or breakfast at the weekends. But I have never tried egg bhurji. It looks and sounds like a really delicious way to serve eggs. Definitely want to try this recipe.
Do give a try and hope you like it. Thank you.
I had never heard of Chana Dal before today. I had to look it up in English it is Baby Chickpeas. I love those. Makes me want to try this recipe even more. Thank you for teaching me something new.
You are welcome. Hope you try.
