Notes
1. Most fasting recipes dont use regular salt. So i have added black salt. Black salt is nothing but sendha namak and is also called as pink salt.
2. Be cautious about the salt you add while you cook the chickpeas. This is optional and you may skip the salt while pressure cooking the chana too.
