Sharing is caring!

This is yet another recipe written a while ago when I was browsing through Tarla Dalal’s recipes. Since I seem to be always making channas so often, I thought I must try many as variations as they come. And I have a huge collection of channa dishes. So this is yet another recipe of the author.
Kadhai Chhole is nothing related to the name, it’s named simply because it is made in a kadhai. Otherwise the masala used is the regular north indian masala. However since Konda loved this so much, I thought I can’t miss out the chance of sharing it here for her sake. This happened on one of the weekdays when I was not sure what to make for dinner. I had a huge can of chana soaked and cooked. So hubby dear suggested I make a good option of cooking that for dinner. 
I must say it was the best suggestion as the channa lived up to it’s name.
