Paneer Chana Masala

Chickpeas are very versatile, full of protein as well. I have seen chickpeas been used in everything these days, from savoury to sweet dishes, I absolutely love it.

I made this dish as a side to go with Pitta, but it can be paired with rice or couscous as well. its easy to make and very quick too.
