Itihaas Chana Masala Recipe

Ingredients:

·         1 can chickpeas in water (also called garbanzo beans) or 1 1/2 cups precooked + 1/2 cup water

·         1/2 onion, diced

·         3 cloves garlic, diced

·         3 tbsp olive oil

·         juice from one lemon (approx 2 tbsp)

·         1/2 tsp curry powder

·         1/2 tsp coriander powder

·         1/2 tsp cumin

·         1/2 tsp garam masala

·         1 large bunch of spinach or two handfuls, rinsed

Preparation:

In a large skillet or frying pan, sautee onions and garlic in olive oil until soft, about 3-5 minutes.

Add chickpeas straight from the can, including all the water. Add spices and lemon juice, cover, and simmer about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, adding more water if needed, until chickpeas are cooked and soft.

Reduce heat, add spinach and cover. Allow spinach to wilt for 2-4 minutes. Serve immediately and enjoy your chana masala!
