Chana Masala

Cooking Instructions

Heat oil, add diced onion, saute on high heat until almost browned.

Reduce heat, add tomato paste, garlic, ginger, curry powder, garam masala and red chili powder. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. If mixture dries out, add lemon juice a sprinkle at a time and stir. (Water can be added a sprinkle at a time as well, don't let it burn!)

Drain garbanzo beans, retain liquid. Add drained beans, remaining lemon juice, and 2-4 tbsp of liquid from garbanzo beans. Mixture should be slightly runny.

Simmer 5 or so minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally. Add Earth Balance and combine until melted and mixed.

Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 5-10 mins until garbanzo beans are tender. Serve over basmati rice and/or with fresh naan.
