is a dish from the Indian subcontinent; notable in Indian and Pakistani cuisine. The main ingredient is a variety of chickpea called chana or kala chana.

Along with chickpeas, the ingredients of chana masala typically include onion, chopped tomatoes, coriander seed, garlic, chillies, ginger, dried mango powder (amchur, sometimes spelled "amchoor&quot , crushed pomegranate seed (anardana) and garam masala.

I don't know that I've had it.

Good luck!

Easy to make, but some of the ingredients were hard to find - we ended up ordering the amchoor and black cardamom off the Internet.
So much flavor, and it makes the house smell incredible when the pressure releases.

www.yupitsvegan.com- not easy to c&p this site no bennies to me.
One I'll be trying later this week is Easy Vegan Curry from www.hurrythefoodup.com

I've started using chickpeas, lentils & curries more in my diet b/c of cost and taste. Have fun, there is likely 150,000 diffetent versions & spice/heat levels.
