Chana Masala
Tender chickpeas simmered in a deeply spiced onion and tomato gravy with ginger, garlic and garam masala. A pantry-friendly weeknight favorite.
- Vegan and gluten-free
- Built from pantry staples
- Better the next day
Chana masala is one of North India's most beloved everyday dishes, and it comes together almost entirely from the pantry. The secret is patience with the onions: cooking them until deep golden builds a sweet, savory base that canned chickpeas soak right up. We mash a few chickpeas into the sauce to thicken it naturally, no cream needed. Serve it with basmati rice or warm flatbread and a squeeze of lemon.
Instructions
Heat the oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds, until fragrant and a shade darker.
