A yummy kurma made with sprouted chana makes it more healthier. Before making this check out how to make sprouts at home. You can make this with plain soaked channa rather than using sprouted channa. This kurma is really spicy and pairs beautifully well with roti, but i love it with idly or dosa..So try this out and let me know how it turns out.

Why do you have to blend the channa?
Hello , they say if we cook sprouts too much they lose their nutrition. This recipe calls for lot of cooking. What is your take?
