Chana Masala or Chole Masala is a very popular vegetarian dish for its nutritional value and taste. It is originated in northern India. Chana masala is prepared with chickpeas, known as Kabuli Chana in India.
The recipe varies by region. Today I am going to show you Chana masala Bengali style. It is less saucy than the regular Chana Masala. This version is made with a blend of spices, onion, ginger-garlic paste, tomato and boiled potato. The boiled potato gives a nice texture to this Chana Masala. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and freshly squeezed lemon juice before serving. Usually served with Luchi or Puri.
