Chickpeas Soyachunks Masala

Usually we make masala either with chickpeas or with soyachunks separately, i crossed this masala dish from a paper cut which my mom saved a long back. Actually this masala is a dry curry which goes awesome with rice, rotis as simply as filling with bread slices. A quick side dish to have with any dish actually. Simple grounded masala gives a wonderful flavour to this dry curry and the spices goes for making masala is quite enough to give the spiciness to this simple and delicious masala. You can even have this masala as snacks if you like both chickpeas and soyachunks very much.

Definitely a different dish from the usual masalas we make with chickpeas or soyachunks. You can skip chickpeas or either soyachunks and make this masala just with any of these both ingredients. The choice is yours, i enjoyed thoroughly this masala with a bowl of rasam rice and trust me this masala tastes absolutely divine as side dish with a simple bowl of ric too. This post goes  for the CC Challenge of the month.Sending this dish to CWS- Chickpeas guest hosted by Nalini.
