Usually we dont have rice for our dinner, so i need to make simple foods like rotis,salads,sandwiches or soups. As sunday lunch was bit rich with meats and all, i finished my dinner with some simple chappathis along with this incredible channa masala. Actually my daughter love anything with channa, she kindly requested me to make some channa masala with paneer, but i added some eggplants cubes along with paneer and cooked channa to make this channa masala as i was bit curious to know how baingan will taste in channa masala.
Trust me, you wont get disappointed with this channa masala dish,yep this combo rocks. With simple rotis, this yummy chole tastes marvellous and we enjoyed thoroughly our dinner.This is my third post for this week's blogging marathon, as my theme of this week's goes for delicious dals.
