Note

U can add any number of pulses/grains to make it more colorful.U can replace brown channa by rajma..As i din’t have rajma in hand , i din’t use it. If u use white channa and rajma, u have to soak it for 8 hours.So i dint use both. I have used green peas.So i din’t soak in advance. If u use dried peas,soak it overnight  or for 6 hours in hot water.. U can try this recipe without adding the masala powder.It also tastes good.U can try this way for kids.
