PUNJABI CHOLE/CHANA MASALA

Chana/chole masala is a delicious & flavorful Indian curry made by cooking chickpeas in onion tomato masala gravy. one of the most popular curry dishes from India, In fact in north India.
No wedding or party is complete without chole.
This recipe i feel is so easy and tasty as well. I have used TATA SAMPANN CHOLE MASALA POWDER,you can even use homemade chole masala powder, this is best for working people especially if you do not have much time to cook & if you are too lazy to cook like me at times, this recipe works well.
