Do you cook at home? What do you make? Share a recipe with us.

Yes, cooking is a way of life for me and sometimes a stress buster. I enjoy the process of picking and buying vegetables, masalas, grains too.

I make a lot of vegetarian and vegan dishes like soups, tikkis, sautéed veggies, and traditional recipes too.

This is a favourite in winter made with fresh green chana. We get unpeeled green chana in Mumbai and I always buy them. The recipe begins with pealing the chana, which is normally given to the youngest member of the family Aadya. She does this while onions, garlic, ginger, green chillies and tomatoes are chopped finely.

After stirring all these in oil after jeera splutters, a pinch of turmeric and red chillies are added along with salt to taste.

My favourite spice is bhuna heera powder which I add to almost everything, so this is no exception. Then washed fresh green chana is added, stirred, sprinkled with some water and covered over a low flame.
3 to 4 minutes and it’s done.

We Biharis relish it with roasted Poha (bhujja) but this dish can be had with bread, roti, parathas or just like that with a dash of lime.
