Cholay Masala is a tasty, spicy, flavored, and healthy chickpea curry, traditionally a combination of chickpeas and eggs with thick gravy. It is easy to make, and can be used at sehri time even at iftar if you have already boiled chickpeas in your fridge can be cooked within an hour, Chana masala literally 'mix-spiced small-chickpeas also known as chana, 

Chole masala is a dish originating from Punjab Pakistan The main ingredient in a variety of chickpeas is called chana They are twice the diameter of typical chickpeas with a more robust flavor and firmer texture even after being cooked. I added boiled eggs in chana masala but can be used boiled potatoes instead of boiled eggs, If you are vegetarian you can skip eggs.
                    
                                                                 
cholay masala


Chana masala is cooked with its own remaining water with onion and some spices aren’t used tomato or yogurt in this dish, once even before already shared chana masala curry with eggs, but with other spices, trust me when I did compare both curries in taste
This one was awesome and unique in taste this chana masala also goes well with puri, kachori as well as tandoori naan, so let’s begin……..
Recipe tips:

  1. At the time of soaking, chickpeas add 1 tbsp baking soda and leave it overnight
  2. Use small-sized chana (desi) instead of large size
  3. Don’t add salt at the time of boiling they will take more time to be tender
  4. Must remain 1-liter chickpeas water after boiling
  5. For any type of lentil, the rice should be soaked in warm water instead of plain water, warm water is the best soaking agent than plain or cold water
  6. At the time of boiling, eggs must be added to 1 tsp salt in the water to prevent cracking eggs
