For soaking lentils take a cup of chana dal in a bowl. Wash it properly. Soak it in water for the whole night.
For making paste drain the water from the dal, grind it into a smooth paste. Add green chillies, coriander leaves and garlic paste to the grinded dal. Remember do not add any water while grinding.
Make small kebabs out of this mixture.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a non- stick pan and fry the kebabs in a low medium flame till golden brown from both the side.
Place them out in a plate.
For gravy preparation heat 4 tbsp oil in a pan. When it gets hot, lower the flame and add methi daana (fenugreek seeds).
When it turns in golden color add all the spices- coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, red chilli powder and salt.
Cover the lid and simmer the spices for a while.
Add 1 cup of water. When the water starts boiling, lower the flame.
For secret paste, as we have left 1tbsp grinded chana dal paste. So add 1/2 cup of water in this paste and mix it very well.
Add this paste in our gravy and keep stirring. So it won't get burn.
Add 1/2 cup of water again. When it starts boiling then add kebabs. Add a pinch of dried mango powder for better taste.
Give it a good boil and switch off the flame.
Garnish it with coriander leaves and serve hot with chapatti or zeera rice.
