CHANA (GARBANZO) MASALA

Chana (Garbanzo) Masala Recipe @ treatntrick.blogspot.com


Chickpeas (garbanzo beans)  add lots of flavor and protein to all kind of  dishes.  These are a staple in Middle Eastern cooking. Chickpeas are common ingredient in soups, salads and stews.

Here is a recipe for delicious chickpeas simmered in  fragrantly spiced  and slightly tangy gravy. It can be easily adjusted to suit your palate.

Readily available in a can but I had used the dried garbanzo beans that require soaking overnight. They are then rinsed and boiled until soft before you can proceed in  making any dishes.

Chana (Garbanzo) Masala  always make a popular side dish and a regular on our table.

Chana (Garbanzo) Masala Recipe @ treatntrick.blogspot.com



CHANA (GARBANZO) MASALA

1 cup garbanzo beans soaked overnight
2 onion chopped
2 tomato chopped
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/4  tsp turmeric
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp  garlic minced
2 tablespoon oil
1 tsp ginger minced
salt to taste
2 tablespoon chopped cilantro




DIRECTION

Rinse and drain garbanzo bean. Place beans into deep pot, cover with  3 cups water and salt, cook until the beans turn soft. Retain the liquid from boiling the beans.

Heat the oil, splutter the cumin seeds, add the onion, cook until onion turns soft.

Add in ginger and garlic, stir until fragrant.

Now add the tomato and salt. When tomato turns soft, add in all the spices except garam masala, cook until oil separates.

Add in the boiled garbanzo beans and  some cooking liquid,  cook until the gravy thickens  using medium heat, stir in between to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pan. The gravy should   be semi thick and not too watery.

Stir in garam masala and  more salt if needed. .

Garnish with cilantro. Serve  hot. with naan, puri, paratha or pulao.

You know, I've never had Garbanzo beans; maybe I should give them a shot! :)

Thanks for joining the Link Up this week!

Winnie said...

This is a wonderful dish
We looooooove chickpeas. As you wrote - they're very popular here
BTW - if you put a tsp of baking soda in the water (while soaking the beans) - it'll shorter the cooking time. You just have to rinse the chickpeas thoroghly before cooking

I can almost smell this cooking. Delicious!

Deepti said...

I have chickpeas sitting in my pantry needing to be used. So glad you shared this recipe with us on foodie friday. I think I have all the seasoning too. Love when that happens.

I have a couple cans of chickpeas, that I have struggled finding dishes for. This reminds me of baked beans. I will definitely be trying it!
Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friday.

This would be amazing with buttered naan!

Natashalh said...

I love chickpeas and the spices look great! My man thinks he doesn't like Indian food, but I'm pretty sure if I made this and didn't tell him he wouldn't guess. He loves cumin and cilantro, so I think I could trick him into realizing he likes Indian!

I just used garbanzo beans in a salad this week. I really like them. I had tried baking them as a snack one time and was told to rinse and remove the skins. That was time consuming. Do you do that for this recipe? Anyway, thanks for sharing.
