CHANA MASALA – INDIAN CHICKPEA CURRY

15 minutes Chana Masala

Chana Masala or Indian chickpea curry is the food that I make whenever I feel I need some comfort because this is exactly what it is, a hug in a bowl. It is dead simple to make but the vibrancy of the dish makes it look like you've been slaving away in the kitchen for hours!

Enough chitchat! Here is the recipe!
