Hi Tim,

Thanks for watching my work and writing in.
Yes, you can add Cumin Seeds in oil before adding onion & Tamota.

If you have boiled Chick pea with you then this chick Peas recipe will take only 10 minutes..

There might be two reasons which i can think of which kept your chick pea in light color are:

1. I think you have used the old dry Amla kept with you at home for sometime now.. Use freshly bought dry Amla from market and try once again. Boil chick pea and dry Amla together and you will get the desired color.

2. It taske sometime to chickpea to take black color from amla. Keep them aside after boiling and you will see them becoming darker and darker by the time.

Hope this might help you making them black and delicious next time you try my recipe.
Thanks again
Maahi

Can the jeera be roasted along with the spices that go in the pan for marsala ? Also my amla didn’t make the peas very dark. Any reason for that other than it only took my chicks 15 min to cook in “western style” pressure cooker no whistles.

Thanks Maahi, I have been looking for a similar recipe for a long time. Can’t wait to make it. I have a question though, the mace you mention in your video looks like star anise & wanted to confirm if you are using star anise, mace or both.
Thanks,
