I finally found the scratch paper on which I wrote this recipe! I’ve been looking for it for weeks! That will teach me not to write a recipe without my spiral that I keep all my recipe scratch in! That was a close one!
Ever since we got back from NYC I’ve been craving Chana Masala. I’ve tried making it before but I didn’t get it quite right. The Indian place we went to inspired me to try again and I think I got it this time! I think this is the perfect blend of spices and tomatoey goodness, and served with a big piece of Naan? Forget about it! And an added bonus… it’s incredibly easy to make!
Chana Masala
(Print this recipe!)
Ingredients:
1/2 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 T corriander
1 T cumin
1 tsp tumeric
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp paprika
Directions:
Sauté onion and garlic in a little cooking spray over medium heat until tender.
Add chickpeas, crushed tomatoes, and spices and let simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve with rice and a big piece of Naan. I also served mine over a little spinach to get a little extra veg in there!
Hope you love it- happy Meatless Monday!
i have been meaning to make this for SO long. i LOVE indian food and have always wanted to try cooking it at home. i think the fact that i typically don’t have all the spices is what stops me. i just need to man up and buy them!
Do you have any place near you that sells spices in bulk? That’s how I get all of mine- I get a little of everything for literally pennies so I have every spice on hand at all times!
looks great! my hubby loves indian so i’m always looking for new recipes.
