Channa Masala is a very common dish in North India. It is usually eaten with Batura.
Chole-Bature is a very famous combination. I have made this dish a little differently. Usage of tamarind gives it a tangy taste. Combination of fennel seeds & tamarind along with kalonji, gives it a different flavour altogether, making each mouthful a treat.
