I first wanted to try Indian food because of smelling the cooking that the owners of small Texas hotels were doing for themselves. In the small towns where I have lived, however, there haven't been any Indian cafes. So I have been trying recipes online. But it is hit or miss because sometimes I don't know what ingredients they mean or how much to put. It has all been yummy so far and smells like the cooking that Indian Texans do. Finding out how to make Ghee was a magical discovery! But this site makes it seem very easy to understand, and once I understand I think I will be fine. That is what happened when I was learning to cook Mexican foood. I love hot food. Thanks! This is the cooking site I have been looking for!

Tomorrow, I'm going to try making it with the addition of spinach (sort of a combo Saag Paneer and Chole, minus the paneer). Not sure how it will come out, but I suspect it will be great. It's pretty tough to screw up Indian food, once you get the hang of it. Channa Masala is one of my favorite dishes (along with vindaloo).

Also, your pictures make the dish look even more delic. And I'm in Waterloo .. :) Anyhoo, I got a tip that readers might want to try. If anyone has had channa on the streets of Mumbai, they might recall that its slightly dark in color. I was never able to get that color and then I finally asked one of the vendors. The key is that they use leftover water from chai. I typically add a tea bag now to my cooking in order to get that darker color :) Cheers, Vikram PS: Tried the Tamarind fish and the Hariyali Baingan. Both came out really well. Hi Meena,
