Daal Chana Fry

#cookpadindia #everydaycooking #chana A lovely dal fry recipe from my kitchen that is a regular feature at our home especially for Dinner. This dal fry is just mind-blowing and delicious. Easy to cook and goes well with Naans or Chapatis. Spicy and a little bit on the tangy side too due to Tomatoes. Serve this with Cabbage and Onion salad. It's best with any Indian Bread. And can be enjoyed at Breakfast or any of the main meals as well. At my maternal home, it's enjoyed at Breakfast mostly with Parathas and Chapatis too. It tastes awesome if made with Raw Mangoes. In Summers, it is the best Dal Fry recipe that my family relishes.
