If you want a nourishing, comforting, wholesome plant-based meal that comes together in just 40 minutes, then this chana masala is what you are looking for. I simmer chickpeas with tomatoes and warm spices for an easy meal packed full of flavor, made with pantry staples.
Ingredients
Instructions
Heat oil in a large pot on high heat.
Add cumin seeds and as soon as they start popping, add onion, garlic and ginger and sauté over medium-low heat until caramelized, about 5 minutes.
Add the coriander, cumin powder, cayenne, turmeric, paprika/smoked paprika, and garam masala. Cook for another 30 seconds, then add the tomatoes + juices, scraping up any bits that have stuck to the pan.
Add the water, chickpeas and salt.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer and cover. Cook on low for 30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so to make sure the Chana Masala doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.
