Chana Masala

We tried this Chana recipe
http://vegetarian.about.com/od/maindishentreerecipes/r/ChanaMasala.htm

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 can chickpeas in water (also called garbanzo beans) or 1 1/2 cups precooked + 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, diced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • juice from one lemon, (approx 2 tbsp )
  • 1/2 tsp curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp coriander powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • 1 large bunch of spinach or two handfuls, rinsed
We followed it and it wasn't bad, but it wasn't a keeper either. We have some work to do. It was too dry first of all. It needed something like tomato sauce. We also used an in-season Chinese spinach or something similar to spinach but more hearty. That was really good. We'll keep looking and taking suggestions.
