Chana masala North Indian style recipe - Chana masala is a side dish for rotis, parathas and rice. White chickpea or kabuli chana and tomato are the main ingredients of this dish. However, you can adjust the other ingredients according to your taste. This is a simple and easy dish to prepare with instant chana masala powder. Chana masala powder is available in all Indian grocery stores. I have used MDH chana masala and it is very aromatic.

Maharashtrian style chickpea curry in serving bowl
Malvani chana or brown chickpea curry recipe - I am a great fan of all malvani dishes, which are very popular in Maharashtra. I have prepared this Malvani chana curry  in a  pressure cooker with store bought malvani masala. If you don't get Malvani masala in your area, you can use some chole masala readily available in the grocery store. This curry goes well with hot steamed rice, ghee or jeera rice, rice or jawari roti, chapati, phulka or any other Indian flat breads.

Palak chole and bhature recipe - Today I am posting a very delicious home style palak chole and bhature recipe. There is a small interesting twist in this recipe with addition of spinach instead of potato as I do it in normal chole masala. The result is delectable breakfast dish which is liked by everyone in my house. This is an absolutely healthy dish that you can try and treat your family and friends. Usually, I prepare Punjabi chole with kabuli chana or white chickpea and potato. But I tasted palak chole in one of our favourite restaurants and their palak chole was simply divine. Since then I tried it a few times and now I am sharing the recipe with you all.

Hariyali chole masala recipe

Hariyali kabuli chana masala in serving container
Hariyali chole masala recipe - Today I am going to share a delicious hariyali chole masala recipe which goes great with parathas, theplas, phulka, roti, pulao or even rice.  This is an easy to prepare side dish which I make often and very different from the usual chana masala.
This hariyali chole masala is a delicious combination of  kabuli chana, green corianders and fresh coconut. We enjoyed it with  hot methi theplas along with crisp papads, curd and mango pickle. This recipe is a mix of both South Indian and North Indian style.  The combination of coconut with chickpeas is particularly South  Indian, while the use of coriander leaves  and spice powder is very North Indian. In India, chickpeas are one of the most important and popular legumes used to prepare various dishes like kadbuli chana masala, punjabi chole, chana usal, chana curry, salads and so on.
