Hello friends, chana masala or chole masala recipe is a authentic Punjabi dish made of chickpeas in gravy. Best served with bhatura or naan, chole batura is popular in North India. I like my chana masala to have a spicy and sour flavour (chatpata khatta masala) which is best achieved by adding homemade chana masala powder. 

Though readymade chana masala powder is very easily available in market by various brands like MDH etc...but freshly done homemade chana powder gives a distinct flavour to the gravy. I am sharing both the recipes of the gravy as well as the masala. Do check it out

  2. Of a truth there is no known pharmaceutical cure for Diabetes, but the good news is 'Diabetes is cured naturally by herbal medicine and with the right herbal proportion.
    Doctors told my husband no cure, and still advised him not to research that he won't succeed and never offer him a solution. Thanks to the media and internet where I found Dr Utu @ drutuherbalcure@gmail.com who is an African Roots and Herbal practitioner. I saw testimonials and we decided to give it a trial and thank God today my husband is Diabetes-free and he had said bye to pharmaceutical drugs for good.

  4. As the year is believed to be promising, the major pleasant news that one expects is the recovery of the global economy and betterment in the people's overall health. Both these aspects have suffered brutally in 2020 due the occurrence of global pandemic and the subsequent lockdown posed by the governments. 2021 horoscope by date of birth will prove to be full of abundance, happenings and good luck for most of zodiac signs.
