Channa Masala - Try My Recipes

Channa Masala is a special dish which you will find in majority of hotels serving with poori and chapathi.

Personally I love the flavor of north Indian’s channa masala which has lots of aromatic flavor and equally tastes delicious. I got a lovely opportunity to try this masala from Meenu’s blog and the most speciality in this curry is it has no onions and tomatoes…. I was all amazed and confused while reading her recipe but trust me… the taste was awesome.  My new neighbor friend who was standing beside me while cooking was also surprised by the recipe procedure. And this is the first dish I shared with my neighbor and they really loved it... Thanks meenu dear :)

 I served this with breads so mashed little at the final stage and it tasted like pav bajji :)
