This Channa Masala recipe is very easy to make . For this gravy we need to soak the konda kadalai (chick peas) for 8 hours prior to start of the recipe. This soaking helps the chickpeas to cook easily. This channa masala can also be served with chapathi, poori, roti, parotta etc. Also to obtain a smooth texture I ground the onions and tomatoes . But this is optional and you can proceed with the recipe without grinding it.
