Methods

1. Take a deep frying pan and add oil to it, as it heats add cumin seeds and green chillies. Remove it from the flame and immediately add 1teaspoon red chilli powder followed by boiled chana.
2. Mix the chana and then add remaining red chili powder, garam masala, chana masala, amchoor powder, salt and mix it.
