About this recipe
Chana Masala is a classic of North Indian cuisine, particularly popular in the Punjab region.
This curry of chickpeas cooked in a rich tomato and onion sauce with a spiced masala has been a mainstay of both street food and homes.
The name 'chana' refers to chickpeas, and 'masala' to the blend of intense spices that characterize it.
Traditionally served with basmati rice or breads like chapati or bhatura, this dish reflects the soul of vegetable and deeply aromatic Indian gastronomy.
Its intensity of flavor and nutritional value have made it an international favorite of vegetarian cuisine.
