Channa Masala
Wednesday, February 15, 2023
Channa Masala is one of my favourite Indian dishes- super tasty and very healthy too! Did you know that “Chana” means chickpea and “masala” means spice blend so this is basically a chickpea curry. I play around with the spices every time I make this but this is my current favourite.
