Chana masala literally 'mix-spiced small-chickpeas'), also known as channay, chole masala, chole or chholay (plural), is a dish originating from the Indian subcontinent.
As one of the most popular dishes in the world, both in and out of India and Pakistan, channa masala (or chana masala, chole masala, or chholay, depending on where you're from.
In India, it is sold by street vendors and restaurants, and may be eaten with puri, Chappathi.
This is purely South Indian style kuruma type chana masala (Kondakadalai kurma in Tamil). We followed my mom recipe. You can use black chana as well. It was very flavorful and the addition of chana made it more healthy too. You can add chopped onion on top of it to adds a great taste and goes well with chapathi, poori & dosa.If you like u can mix this kurma with plain rice and enjoy. I will post North Indian restaurant style chana masala here so that you can enjoy that as well.
