I've tried her recipe and love it! We have it for dinner every other week lol. Whenever i make mine however, it comes out a bit on the dry side, not in a bad way... but cos u mash up the chanay a bit at the end.. idk how to explain... as in the masala wasn't separated too much.. with puri i like the chana masala to be kinda oily, sounds weird but i hope u understand.

Idk if any of u have been to Devon Ave in Chicago... But there are a few restaurants that serve halwa puri breakfasts.. most popular being Tahoora... i like that type consistency of their chana masala.
