Black chana masala is another version of chole where we use black chana instead of kabuli chana. Black chana masala is my family's all time favorite. It goes well with rice and paratha. I have a very good memories associated with this black chana masala. When I was studying in college and  staying in hostel, the mess of hostel use to serve horrible food. During weekend either we use to go out or cook in our room (which was not allowed). Most of the time I use to cook and the menu use to be black chana masala and rice with the minimal ingredients, so whenever I prepare this dish, it reminds me of my hostel life which I still cherish.
