Chana Masala
Cultural Context
Chana Masala, originating from the Indian subcontinent, is a beloved dish made primarily with chickpeas and a blend of spices. Traditionally served with rice or bread, it reflects the rich culinary heritage of India, where legumes are a staple. This dish is not only popular in India but has also gained global recognition, often found in Indian restaurants worldwide, celebrated for its hearty flavor and nutritional benefits.
chickpeas
🥗Healthier: lentils
💰Cheaper: canned beans
Lentils are lower in calories and quicker to cook.
garam masala
🥗Healthier: curry powder
💰Cheaper: mixed spices
Curry powder offers a similar flavor profile at a lower cost.
fresh ginger
🥗Healthier: ginger powder
💰Cheaper: ground ginger
Ground ginger is more accessible and has a longer shelf life.
fresh cilantro
🥗Healthier: parsley
💰Cheaper: dried herbs
Parsley can be a milder substitute for those who dislike cilantro.
Heat oil in a pot and sauté the onions until they start to turn golden.
Using a mortar and pestle (or grater), make a paste of garlic, ginger, and green chilli. Add the paste to the onions and fry until fragrant.
Turn the heat to low and add red chilli powder, turmeric, cumin seeds, coriander powder, and crushed red chilli. Add a splash of water to prevent the spices from sticking, and fry for about a minute.
Stir in the pureed tomatoes. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the moisture evaporates and oil starts to separate. Add ¼ cup of water, cover, and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
Add cooked chickpeas into it. Mix well so the chickpeas are coated. Add ½ a cup of water along with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Gently mash some chickpeas with ladle, this helps thicken up the gravy.
Bring it to a boil. Rub the Kasuri Methi (Dried Fenugreek) between your palms and sprinkle it over the curry along with garam masala. Cover and cook on low heat for 10 minutes.
Garnish with coriander/cilantro and serve with naan or rice.
