Chana masala (also chole masala or chholay) is a chickpea curry cooked in a tomato-based sauce, originating from the Indian subcontinent.[1][2][3] It is a staple dish in Indian (particularly North Indian) and Pakistani cuisine.[1][3] It is often eaten with bread, including deep-fried bhatura (where the combination is called chole bhature), puri, or flatbreads such as kulcha.[3][4][5]
Ingredients and preparation
Along with chickpeas, the ingredients of chana masala typically include a base of onions, garlic, ginger, and chili peppers; chopped tomatoes to form the tomato sauce; and herbs and spices, such as amchoor, coriander, cumin, garam masala, and turmeric.[3][6]
To prepare chana masala, raw chickpeas are soaked overnight in water. They are then drained, rinsed, and cooked with onions, tomatoes, and spices.[2]
It is sometimes garnished with cilantro and lemon or lime wedges.[4]
