Channa Masala -No onion-garlic Version


I love to have warm,subtle channa masala along with hot pulkhas,especially in a cold evening.
Last week the weather was so cold and wanted to make this delicious,comforting channa masala for our dinner.
This is one such curry I make often to accompany for the phulkas.But never tried with no onion and garlic.For the blogging marathon theme I tried without onion.The curry came out so well and tasted yummy.
