How to Roast Chana at Home

• Heat a karahi (pan) and fill it with 1 to 2 kg of salt. (The chana will be roasted directly in this hot salt base.)

• Take a small handful of whole chickpeas (chana).

• Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of water over them.

• Add a small pinch of haldi (turmeric) for natural color and flavor.

• Mix lightly so the chana becomes slightly moist.

• Pour the prepared chana into the hot salted karahi.

• Keep stirring continuously.

• Within one minute, the chana will start popping, turning light brown and crispy.

• The first batch may take 2 to 3 minutes; afterward, each portion roasts in about one minute.

• Roasting in hot salt does not make chana overly salty.
  It gives the perfect balanced saltiness for great taste, without adding extra salt.

• Once crispy and lightly browned, your homemade roasted chana is ready to enjoy.
