Subru Uncle's Channa Masala(Delicious Chickpea Curry We All Love image

This goes well in my house. It was taught to me just the day before I left Oman for Orlando by Subru uncle who has worked for 13 years as a chef in my house. For this recipe, the tamarind juice must be prepared by soaking a 3 inch piece of tamarind in 1 1/2 cups of hot water, squeezing the tamarind piece and extracting the juice. Then collect the required amount of the same in a cup and use.
