Punjabi Spiced Chickpeas (Chana Masala)
(1 Servings)Ingredients
1 | 100 g canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed |
2 | 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (15 ml) |
3 | 1 small onion, finely chopped (about 50 g) |
4 | 1 clove garlic, minced |
5 | 1 small tomato, chopped (about 100 g) |
6 | ½ teaspoon ground cumin (2 g) |
7 | ½ teaspoon ground coriander (2 g) |
8 | ½ teaspoon garam masala (2 g) |
9 | ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder (1 g) |
10 | ¼ teaspoon red chili powder (1 g, adjust to taste) |
11 | Salt to taste |
12 | Fresh coriander leaves for garnish (optional) |
Step-by-Step Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a medium-sized pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it turns golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomato to the pan and cook until it softens (about 3-4 minutes). Stir occasionally.
Mix in the ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook the spice mixture for 1-2 minutes until well combined and aromatic.
Add the drained chickpeas to the pan and stir, ensuring they are well coated with the spice mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
If you prefer a saucier dish, you can add a splash of water to achieve your desired consistency. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh coriander leaves if desired.
Pro Tips
For added flavor, squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the dish before serving.
Serve with rice or naan for a complete meal!
