RATING NOTES:

              DIFFICULTY LEVEL    :   EASY

              RATING  POINTS         :    8/10**

**  The more chickpeas you add for grinding along with the spices, the more gravy you get for this dish.

** Do not pressure cook the chickpeas for more than 15 minutes as they get very smoothed and the dish would not look good.
