Chana masala

One of my favourite Indian dishes, with a reasonably good approximation by Yeung Man's Cooking channel.

Ingredients

  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1/2 big onion or a smaller one, finely mined
  • 1 can (400 gr) of tomato puree
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 200gr canned chickpeas
  • 1/3 can of coconut milk
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 2 cardamom pods
  • 2 bay leaves
  • salt
  • 1/2 tsp hot paprika
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cinamon
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tsp garam masala

Steps

  1. Heat up cardamom, bay leaves and olive oil.
  2. Add onion and sautee. Incorporate garlic and ginger.
  3. Warm up spices (all but garam masala).
  4. Add tomato, followed by garam masala.
  5. Incorporate chickpeas and cook for about 1 minute.
  6. Add coconut milk and cook for further 3 to 4 minutes.
