This is just a variation of channa/chole recipe by adding potatoes. Goes well with rotis/chapathis/parathas.

Heat oil in a pan/kadai and add cumin seeds( for some flavor can add a cardamom, clove and cinnamon), wait for few seconds and add chopped onions. Fry till golden brown and add ginger garlic paste. Saute for a minute and add chopped tomatoes or tomato paste( cook till the tomatoes are mashed and pulpy and if using tomato paste- mix well for a minute) and add the powders( can substitute powders of your choice) and mix well. Now add the cooked channa, boiled and cubed potatoes, salt and 1 1/2 cups of water( or add as thickness needed). Cook together for few minutes and remove. Serve with any type of parathas/chapathis.
