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.
