Black channa masala / கருப்பு கொண்டை கடலை மசாலா

Black channa / Black chickpea is very high in protein and fiber;hence a healthy source of carbohydrates for persons with diabetes. Recent studies have also shown that they can assist in lowering of cholesterol in the bloodstream.We normally make sundal out of this channa but here i tried to make gravy for chappathi in chettinad style but with few changes.
