Indian-Style Black Beans Curry

Channa (Chickpeas) Curry should have been done with chickpeas (garbanzo beans); BUT


this was tweaked and done with black beans. As an alternative, the dish turns out quite different in terms of taste and flavor, not undermining its deliciousness fortunately.


Was it luck? NO. The traditional spices used for Channa Masala or Channa Curry really help to bring everything together.
