Chana Masala / Chole Masala is a popular Punjabi dish made out of chickpeas. It is a semi gravy and usually served with roti / chapathi. It is a classic dish and we usually order chole masala when we visit a North Indian Restaurant here in Chennai. In Restaurants, they serve chole masala with bhature / bhatura.
I make chole masala almost 2 times a week as a side for chapathi. Everytime I make fresh chole spices from scratch. Chole spice powder is a mixture of spices dry roasted and grind it coarse paste. I made this spice powder today and put it in airtight glass container and stored in freezer.
1. In a pan over low heat , add all the items listed under ingredients
2. Roast on low flame for 7 to 8 minutes or until the spices are roasted and you can smell the aroma of roasted spices
3. Cool completely
4. Add all the roasted ingredients in a spice grinder and grind it to coarse powder
5. Store it in airtight container / in the freezer and use it in chole masala as a spice powder
