Chana Masala is also known as Ghughani. This dish used to be my everyday evening snacks. But, It can be served at lunch or dinner, with rice, paratha, or puri. It is a good substitute for proteins for a vegetarian. It is very common in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal in India, and in Nepal.
I have used black chickpea beans (also called Bengal gram). You can use any chickpea beans. I have served this dish with aaloo paratha (potato stuffed paratha). In addition, it also goes well with any salads.
