As I get older, Punjabi food is so heavy. I have to slither like a snake to get around after a good Punjabi meal. Have yet to eat chole ( chickpea curry) or rajma ( red bean curry) that blows my socks off in the US

I count chana masala (if there's a difference between this and chole then I don't know it) as my favourite food, even though (not being much of a traveller) I've eaten it *only* in the USA. I must assume that it's even better in India or Pakistan.

It’s pretty good here don’t get me wrong and plenty of poor imitations in India. Best Indian food like all food is homemade. No reason you shouldn’t bug an Indian person you know for it Trick is to soak raw dry chickpeas in water over night. Adam Ragusea has a good video.
