I made this recipe:
http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/Channa-Masala-17471

and it turned out good, I used 2.5 C of soaked Channa
and used the ingredients in the above list for 3c channa
will need to work on the quanity of ingredients though to get the right flavour

I also liked vareva and Manjula's channa Masala in You tube will try it another time.

tried vareva's recipe for Rajma it came out awesome. 5***
This is definitely a keeper.

Ingredients

• 1 pound thin asparagus spears, trimmed and cut in half
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 large tomato, seeded and chopped (N - Diced small)
  
• 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Place the asparagus in a large skillet and fill with about 1 inch of water. Cover the pan and set over high heat. When the water comes to a boil, cook for 2 minutes or until the asparagus is bright green and almost tender.
2. In a separate skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add the tomato to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes until they soften. Season with salt, pepper and chilli powder. Add asparagus to the pan and cook for about 3-5 min minutes, until hot.
