Channa Masala in Chinese Sauce

Yesterday I did this Channa Masala for Chapati in Chinese style- with a little twist in its original preparation and it tasted awesome.Try this recipe at home and see how some untouchable Curry or Masala can be made a great success or ur family's favourite with a little twist in its preparation.U can try this recipe with Soy granules,Meat balls,Fried Paneer,boiled Green Peas,Capsicum,fried Mushrooms,fried Cauliflower(dipped in corn flour coating), Brinjal,Sprouted Green Moongdal,boiled Tapioca,fried or Ladies-fingers,boiled or fried Yam and Chopped Egg whites.U can replace the Channa masala with Subji Masala or any mutton or chicken masala(which suits ur taste) in this recipe and try the same.This needs little more than 15 mins cooking time.Enjoy ur Cooking at home!.Bon Appetit!.
