Wishing all the blog readers a very \u201cHappy Teej\u201d!! This festival celebrates the season of monsoon or \u201csaawan\u201d. &nbsp;This is mainly celebrated by girls or women. Since childhood I have always been part of \u201cTeej\u201d enthusiasm. We used to put up Henna on our hands, ride on swings, singing, chatting and munching up all the fried and spicy snacks. I still remember the \u2018swing\u2019 which the house helper used to tie on a big hook in our verandah for the week of \u201cTeej\u201d. As we used to live in joint family with so many cousins and aunts, we sisters used to fix the turns for riding on swing. What days those were!!<\/p>\n<p>Although I am far from home now, but the memories of this day brings a smile on my face. I am not such a cooking expert who can fill up entire table with snacks and delicacies, still I tried to celebrate this day in my own way by making Chana Masala,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchpakrahahai.in\/2015\/06\/poori-recipe.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Poori<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchpakrahahai.in\/2015\/09\/sooji-ka-halwa.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sooji Ka Halwa<\/a> ???? .<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">List Of Ingredients:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>White Chickpeas- 4 cups<\/li>\n<li>Medium sized Onions-2<\/li>\n<li>Medium sized Tomatoes-3<\/li>\n<li>Green Chillies-2<\/li>\n<li>Ginger Paste-1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Salt-3 tsp (or to taste)<\/li>\n<li>Red Chilli Powder-1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Garam Masala- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Coriander Powder- 2 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Mango Powder-1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Chana Masala- 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Tamarind Paste-1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Ghee\/Cooking Oil-2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Tea Bag-1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Steps To Prepare:<\/h3>\n<h5>Step 1:<\/h5>\n<p>Soak the 4 cups white chickpeas overnight i.e. 8 to 10 hours.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchpakrahahai.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_20150817_124607.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kuchpakrahahai.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_20150817_124607.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.kuchpakrahahai.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_20150817_124607-360x203.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.kuchpakrahahai.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_20150817_124607-1631x917.jpg 1631w, https:\/\/www.kuchpakrahahai.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_20150817_124607-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kuchpakrahahai.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_20150817_124607-375x211.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.kuchpakrahahai.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_20150817_124607-414x233.jpg 414w, https:\/\/www.kuchpakrahahai.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_20150817_124607-720x405.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" width=\"320\" height=\"180\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n<div>\t<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center; height: 180px;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8060635266279624\" data-ad-slot=\"9883526129\" data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\"><ins id=\"aswift_1_expand\" style=\"border: medium none; height: 180px; width: 720px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; visibility: visible; background-color: transparent; display: inline-table;\"><ins id=\"aswift_1_anchor\" style=\"border: medium none; height: 180px; width: 720px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; visibility: visible; background-color: transparent; display: block;\"><\/ins><\/ins><\/ins><\/p><\/div>\n<h5>Step 2:<\/h5>\n<p>Discard the water in which chickpeas were soaked overnight.
