Channa Masala (Chickpea Curry)
A popular North Indian dish made with chickpeas simmered in a spiced tomato-onion gravy. Vegan, protein-rich, and delicious with rice or flatbread. A staple in Indian home cooking.
Ingredients
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped 1 tablespoon rice flour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
- Combine the tomatoes, about half the onion, the ginger, and rice flour in a blender; blend into a paste.
- Heat the oil and cumin seeds in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the cumin swells and turns golden brown. Cook the remaining onion in the hot oil for about 3 minutes. Stir the blended tomato mixture, garbanzo beans, curry powder, and salt into the onions; cover and cook until hot, about 5 minutes. Garnish with the cilantro to serve.
