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:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Add Tomatoes and Spices: Add pureed tomatoes, turmeric, coriander powder, and salt. Cook until the oil starts separating from the tomato mixture.

4. 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.

5. Final Touches: Sprinkle garam masala and cook for another minute. Adjust salt and spices as needed.

6. 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
