Chana masala, also known as channay or chole masala or chole or chholay, is a dish in Indian cuisine and Pakistani cuisine. The main ingredient is a variety of chickpea called chana or kala chana (meaning black chana). They are much smaller than typical chickpeas with a stronger flavour and firmer texture even after being cooked.
Chole is the name for the larger and lighter coloured chickpea commonly found in the West. These are known as kabuli chana in Hindi-Urdu. Chana masala is fairly dry and spicy with a sour citrus note.
