Channa &
Potatoes are such a lovely combination to cook with. They make awesome curries
when cooked, because they both have the tendency to absorb the flavours which
you add in. I already have a dry version of aloo channa
in my blog, this is a gravy version of it which I make very often at home. You
can serve this with roti, parotas or rice. Hope you will enjoy it.

VERY NICE….. THANK U,,,
THANK U
Did you pre-soak the chana or just washed and added? Will try on weekend. thank you.
@AnonymousThis is how i freeze channa dal. I soaked it overnight, Cooked it and freezed it. So i used that channa to make this. If you are making this with presoaked channa, you might need to cook for a little longer.
I made this for supper yesterday. I thought I was substantial enough, with the channa and potatoes, so I skipped the rice, and we just ate it with a little bit of bread. It tasted great! My husband liked it so much that he even took some of the leftover curry to work in his lunchbox 🙂 Just like you, I'm a big fan of potatoes, so I'll definitely try the dry version of this curry.
Great Recipe ! I tried this today and sure my family will enjoy. I am going to try many more recipes from your website I am sure they are all good. Thanks.
Great Recipe

I'm in the middle of making this for my best friend and her husband as they have just become parents for the second time. It smells delicious…I doubled the recipe so that I can test it for lunch before I give it to them! Thank you for the recipe. I think it's going to be a real success. Lucy
