Chana Masala, as the name implies is a chicken and chickpea stew. This dish is not only power packed in protein but is also full of flavour.
First a spicy chicken gravy is prepared and then boiled chickpeas are added and cooked to a stew form. This dish is flexible enough to be a part of any meal i.e. breakfast lunch or dinner.
Chicken chana masala marries very well with naan chapati or rice. For preparation, chickpeas should be soaked overnight and boiled in the morning. So gather your ingredients and lets have a go at it.
