Recipe: Chana Masala

Chana Masala – such a warm and hearty dish. Perfect for those cold winter nights when you want to warm up and just be cozy. This is a great freezer meal, which doesn’t need the slow cooker! Freezer to pan and 25 minutes later, you’ve got dinner – it’s that easy. Let’s get cooking.

Ingredients

• 2 cans of chickpeas
• 1 can of diced tomatoes
• 6 cups of fresh spinach
• tablespoon of garlic, onion powder, cumin and garam masala
• teaspoon of ginger, coriander, turmeric and paprika
• 1/2 a teaspoon of salt, pepper and cinnamon

First, gather all of you ingredients.

Wash and cut the spinach – then stack in a freezer bag, the spinach, all of the spices, the top with the chickpeas and tomatoes.

I like to write the directions right on the bag – cook in a pan for 10 minutes, then simmer for 15-20 until hot throughout.

This meal is hot and quick – and hearty. Full of vibrant Indian flavours, it will warm you up and make you feel good.

Eat it with rice or nana.

Thanks so much for stopping by – hope you’re enjoying the cold winter days.
