Vegetarian Indian Recipe: Fire Roasted Channa Masala (Chola)
Written by Lindsay Nixon
I love Indian food -- its typically fairly healthy, abundantly flavorful, easy to make (most of the time, anyway) and it can come straight out of your pantry. Scott & I were in the mood for spicy Indian food and this dish hit the spot. Who knew a can of chickpeas + a can of fire-roasted tomatoes = something so tasty!! Mmm Mmm... spicy!
