Recipe- Healthy And Vegan Tawa Chole

Vegan Tawa Chole or chana chaat or curried chickpea/garbanzo salad recipe is packed with authentic flavors, plus it's easy and quick to make.This Garbanzo beans Stir Fry is such a welcome variation to the regular chana masala! Chana Masala is a Northern India specialty! Punjabi cuisine is very rich, spicy, and masaledar (wholesome flavors). Even the whole spices used in this cuisine are very aromatic and distinctive.My curried chickpea salad is very similar yet very different from the traditional Chana masala recipe. It's called Tawa chole, Chana Chaat or Curried Chickpea Salad!
