Quick & Easy Chana Masala

This is my current favorite recipe ... Chana Masala. I have become rather obsessed wtih chickpeas recently and this is by far one fo the best recipe.

Our cook tonight is Chris, which intended on proving that he will cook with less of a mess. And he did a wonderful job!

The trick for this recipe to get to the next level is to use dried chickpea and let them soak. It is not mandatory but it makes a difference.

It is also very easy; you simply have to soak the chickpea overnight and cook them for 90 minutes the next day.

You pretty much can forget about them as they are cooking. Once ready, you can start the recipe.






This is from the Oh She Glows Cookbook (which I have and love!) and I have located the recipe online.
