Chola or Bengali Kala Chana Masala

A Bengali dish that is a must have for Iftaar in Ramadan. A very simple and spicy treat that is easy to make as well. Almost done in a jiffy, the only thing is the soaking time needed for the black chickpeas. Otherwise this one is readied in a matter of just a few minutes. After Jhaal Muri, this is yet another popular snack from Bengali Cuisine. I have learnt this from our bachelor Bangladeshi neighbours who stay in our neighbourhood here. Every Ramadan, this is the one dish that I always look forward from them at Iftaar time. I have tried this many a times until now and thus remains my most preferred comfort food till date.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
