Channa Masala Vol 2 (the tangy tamarind one)
Did you give last weeks channa masala a try? This channa masala recipe is by far my favourite of all the channa masalas (did you know there were more than one?!). I absolutely love the tangy sweetness of tamarind in this. I could eat this by the bowl full. Best served with a sprinkle of [...]
