Chickpea Spinach Curry(Chana Palak)
Ingredients
1 cup dried chickpeas (or 2 cups canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed)
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 tomatoes, pureed
1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
1-2 green chilies, finely chopped (optional, adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons oil
Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions:
Prepare Chickpeas: If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight in water. Drain and boil in fresh water until tender, about 1-2 hours. Skip this step if using canned chickpeas.
Cook the Onions and Spices: Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Stir in ginger-garlic paste and green chilies, cooking for another minute.
Add Tomatoes and Spices: Add pureed tomatoes, turmeric, coriander powder, and salt. Cook until the oil starts separating from the tomato mixture.
Add Chickpeas and Spinach: Add boiled or canned chickpeas and chopped spinach. Mix well and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the spinach wilts and blends into the curry.
Final Touches: Sprinkle garam masala and cook for another minute. Adjust salt and spices as needed.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot with a slice of lemon, accompanied by rice or Indian bread like roti or naan
