Channa / chole/ chick peas are used widely across South Indian as well as North Indian Cuisine .At our home we enjoy all delicacies made from chick peas .
You can check out the collection of recipes on my blog where I have used chickpeas in various ways.
Coming to this delicious channa masala or chole masala ,call it the way you like , there are so many different recipes to follow and enjoy the preparation. The channa masala is a classic accompaniment for hot pooris or bhaturas .
If you are preparing channa or chole masala during Navratri or some festive meal as prasad ,you would want to try my Jain Chole Masala or Chataka chole - both of which are recipes sans Onion and garlic.
During the mango season , pair some piping hot puris with chole and chilled Aam Ras which is a heavenly combination.
Just like Poori Bhaji Aamras , Poori Chole and Aamras is another match made in heaven .
