Channa Masala Recipe

As one of the most popular dishes in the world, both in and out of India
and Pakistan, channa masala (or chana masala, chole masala, or chholay,
depending on where you're from)—chickpeas cooked in a spicy and tangy
tomato-based sauce—is the kind of dish that stirs passions in the recipe-writing community.
My version might not taste like your grandmother's, but I promise that it tastes damn good.
