If you love Indian food but are intimidated to make it at home, this recipe is for you! Don’t let the spice list deter you—Indian dishes are built on layers of these pantry staple spices and the dish is so easy to make. Traditional chana masala is simply chickpeas (chana) simmered in a spiced tomato-onion sauce (masala), but we’ve added spinach to increase the nutrient density. Try it over rice mixed with cauliflower rice for even more good4u veggies!
1. Heat a large deep skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the ghee or olive oil, swirl to coat, then add the onion. Sauté, stirring frequently, until soft and just lightly browned, 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and all the spices, and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
2. Add the tomatoes and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add ¾ cup of water and blend the mixture in a blender or with an immersion blender until mostly smooth.
3. Return the mixture to the skillet over medium heat and add the garbanzos and spinach, stir to combine. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cover. Cook for 7-10 minutes, until the chickpeas are heated through and the spinach is tender.
4. Remove the dish from the heat and stir in the lime juice and coconut sugar. Serve garnished with cilantro.
