[edit]

In India the dish is never (IMHO) referred to as chana massala. it is always Chole (cholay). chana massala in hindi would refer to the spice powder (massala) itself. Chana massala is largly a western term , in context of the dish as a whole. Being a subtle difference this has largely gone unchallenged in media.

Chole currently redirects to this page. We could consider reversing that so that this page redirects to chole and move its contents there. What do others think? --Vince 18:57, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Vince's comment ... chole is the primary name of this dish, although I've also heard of it as a chickpea sabji dish especially if enough other veggies be added. Clearly westerners have modified the proper Hindi names to the point where many Punjabis wouldn't even recognize the connection anymore! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhdinah (talkcontribs) 04:09, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
