I have always disliked veg dishes.But now I am forced to have veg dishes coz my ayurveda doc has insisted me to stay away from all non veg items.....sighhhhh!!! It has been about one month that I haven't looked at non veg dishes.Have to wait till May 4th to begin my appetite of non veg dishes.
Anyways I won't keep you veggy all these days :-).Today I am going to post Chana in north Indian gravy.I remember those days when I used to hate chana.But since I have no option now,I have started liking veg dishes ;-p.
This is not a Kerala style chana curry but a north Indian style.
