Methi Chana Masala
A delicious and healthy chickpea curry cooked with fenugreek leaves and Indian spices.
Chana Masala is a very famous curry in all over India. It is also a all time favourite dish in my home too. But this time I had a bunch of fenugreek leaves in my fridge and was about to get spoiled. So I thought to add them in chana masala gravy. Seriously, it added a extra unique taste and flavor to chana masala. Try this recipe of Methi chana masala and give a make over to traditional chana masala recipe.
