Sookhe Kaale Chane is mostly prepared during ramadan. And also for the eid day to serve the guest. You will find many recipes for Sookhe Kaale Chane around the web. But the recipe which I am sharing is special. Reason being there is an addition of  special homemade masala called Thanda Masala  which gives this recipe a unique taste.

Thanda  masala is our family recipe and used in few of the dishes like Ande ka Salan, Macchi ka salan, baigan ka salan,  matar ki chaat and sookhe kaale chane.  The process of making Sookhe Kaale Chane start with soaking kaale chane in water for 5 hours or overnight.
