Sorry Pat,

 

Here is the amount.

1 lb. (about 2 1/2 cups) whole black chana

2 quarts water

It is best to soak them overnight and then change the water and put 2 inches

of water over the beans and cook for at least 2 hours until they are tender.

They are much healthier than regular garbanzos but they are also more

expensive.

 

Black salt is actually grayish black. It is definitely salty and has lots of

minerals therefore it's color. It is very healthy. I t has an especiially

large amount of sulphur so it smells somewhat like eggs. you don't use a lot.

this is not a cheap recipe to make. It is traditionally made as a kind of

rememberance at wedding, anniversaries and funeral services in India. A little

will give one lots of energy. It is not like a traditional dhal. It can be

served right in one's hand and is a little more oily than popcorn.
