  NOTE:

      Gram(chickpea): use good quality fresh dried gram and if cooked from scratch it is not old. older people stay tough aftercooking. For the softest gram, soak the dried gram overnight with a pinch of baking soda. Once the lentils bloom, release the water. Fill the part with fresh water(enough water to cover the gram completely and 1 inch above it). Boil the gram with a small onion     ( cut into four parts) and salt until soft. You can also do pressure kicks. You should have a gram pea in a thick gravy and finally dissolved onion.
