Channa masala or chola masala recipe without coconut

 

Chana masala is one dish I would love to try different recipes with variations... I love this easy method of cooking everything together and which I learnt from another blog... I have already post some channa recipes in my blog..

Similar Recipe,



This masala is simple and easy served with Bhatura, roti is favourite among many indians... The popular north indian combo of chola with chapathi is irresistible and delicious... The unique aroma and taste comes from the masala powder and fried onion, tomatoes, garlic..... finger licking one...




We should soaked the chickpeas overnight.. Next morning cook the chickpeas, it comes out soft and fluffy and it combained with the masla gravy which is really awesome taste... My son often told me prepare chole masala so i try different version of chole every time....



So i hope that you must give it a try and let me know how it's comes from you...
