This Channa Pulao, I have never tried before and this is the first time I tried and it was a immediate hit with my family members. Normally, I make channa masala using the channa, since i do not know much recipes with this. But when tried this pulao, it really tasted yummy even with simple onion tomato raita.

Notes:
1. If channa is soaked overnight, no need to pressure cook it separately. It will become very mushy, as we cook it along with rice. If soaked for 4 hours, pressure cook first and then again cook with rice.
2. Adding the channa masala is enough, as it gives unique flavor. If you want, you can add garam masala also. But keep in mind to check for the spiciness.
