Chana Masala

sravya
sravya @cook_7796239

During varalakhsmi pooja, as prasadam all will distribute soaked chana. Immediate day my mom used to prepare Chana Masala with some biryani or chapati. My dad worked in Bombay aka Mumbai for couple of years when I am an infant. My mom learnt most of these type of recipes during that time.
The best chana masala I ate till date is in a dhaba near Delhi when we enroute to Manali. Still it will be mouth-watering whenever i remember that. Till date I prepared umpteen times to recreate the same taste, could never get that. May be the spices or ingredients may differ which I use.
Here is my version of Chana masala.

I am Sravya and I am from Hyderabad, India. Currently I am staying in Shanghai. I am a caring mom of 2 yr old boy and loving wife of a software professional. Main task is to prepare food appetizingly with the ingredients available here. Since its an Asian country, we can get most of the things.My interest for cooking started when i am in small age. I used to help my mom in small things and I feel that created me much confidence to try new recipes which ever i tasted or come across. Due to my dad's job, my job(before marriage) and now my husband's job I have been to different places and each place has its own magic. And my interest increased to find those minute differences which also drove me towards this cooking passion.Now I am taking all pics with my mobile phone MI 3. Post your comments for respective recipe which will help to improve. Here I am posting the recipes which i tried and tasted in my kitchen. All pics and content are copyright to Cooking Delights 2016.
