Fantastic Indian vegetarian curry recipe that I got from my mom. This is great with Indian bread (parathas, naan) or with rice. This is my husband's favorite!

I'm not a big fan of chickpeas, but this dish was surprisingly good! The sauce was flavorful and the chickpeas were cooked perfectly.

This channa masala was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
