Chana Masala for Two Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter, Divided
- 1/2 cup Diced Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1 1-inch piece Fresh Ginger, Grated, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
- 1 tablespoon Madras Curry Powder
- 1 8 ounce can Tomato Sauce
- 1 10 ounce package Chopped Frozen Spinach, Defrosted
- 1 15 ounce can Chickpeas, Drained and rinsed
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- Fresh Cilantro, For garnish
Directions
- In a medium saucepan, add 1 tablespoon of the butter. Turn the heat to medium and let the butter melt.
- Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes or so, until translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle in the curry powder and cook while stirring constantly for 30 seconds.
- Pour in the tomato sauce, adding a splash of water to achieve the sauciness you prefer.
- Meanwhile, wring the defrosted spinach dry using your hands. Removing every drop of water isn’t essential, but it’s nice to give handfuls of it a squeeze over a sink to get rid of the excess water.
- Add the spinach, chickpeas, and salt to the pan.
- Bring to a simmer, cook for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning.
