Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Channa Masala (Chickpea Curry).
Step 1
Start by tossing the diced tomatoes, half of the chopped onion, peeled ginger, and rice flour into your blender.
Step 2
Blend everything together until you achieve a smooth, vibrant paste that will serve as the flavorful base for your dish.
Step 3
Next, grab a large skillet and warm up some olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Once the oil is shimmering, add in the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about a minute, until they swell and turn a lovely golden brown—this is where the magic begins! Now, introduce the remaining chopped onion to the skillet and sauté it for around three minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes beautifully translucent and fragrant.
Step 5
It’s time to bring in the star of the show: pour in your blended tomato mixture, along with the rinsed garbanzo beans, curry powder, and a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Give everything a good stir to combine, then cover the skillet and let it cook for about five minutes, allowing all those wonderful flavors to meld together and heat through.
Step 7
Just before serving, sprinkle some freshly chopped cilantro on top for a burst of color and freshness.
Step 8
Enjoy your delicious creation!.
