\"Chana<\/a><\/p>\n

The inspiration for this dish is courtesy of Colin Koop<\/a>. While I was on a trip to Regina, Colin suggested I visit Beer Brothers<\/a>. That was some of the best advice I’ve ever taken. The beer selection was excellent and the bartender very knowledgeable. I was drinking a rather potent Trappist beer and she recommended a fantastic chana masala to go with it. The pairing was perfect and I absolutely had to come up with my own version of the dish. If you like heat, use a full Anaheim pepper or select a hotter variety.<\/p>\n
