Ingredients -
Kabuli Chana (Chole Chana/Garbanzo beans) soaked / pre treated and boiled 1 cup
Spinach/Palak chopped 2 cups
Onions chopped 1/2 cup
Tomatoes chopped 1 cup
Ginger-Garlic Paste 1 tsp
Mirchi Powder 1/4 tsp
Dhania-Jeera Powder
Amchur Powder 1/4 tsp
Salt as per taste
Turmeric a couple pinches
Garam Masala 1/4 tsp
Yogurt/Curd 1/2 cup
Seasoning (Oil 2 tsp, Jeera 1/2 tsp, cloves 3-4, cinnamon 1/2 inch, cardamom 1, bayleaf 1 )
Note -
Next time I would double the quantity of Palak.
Palak can be pureed too if thats a preference.
Sour cream, milk or fresh cream can be used instead of yogurt/curd.
Method Of Preparation -
In a sauce pan, saute the chopped onions and keep aside.
Blanch the tomatoes and de-skin and puree them. (I microwaved big chunks of tomatoes and deskinned them).
Puree the sauteed onions, optionally adding green chillies and coriander leaves. I omitted these as I was in a hurry. Also if using ginger root and garlic cloves, pulse them along with the onions.
In a heated sauce pan, add oil and the rest of the seasoning and after they are done, add the onion and tomato puree.
Add mirchi powder, salt, amchur powder, turmeric, dhania-jeera powder and mix well. Let it cook for about 3-4 min till the oil oozes out.
Add beaten yogurt/curd and let it simmer.
Add the cooked chana and also the chopped spinach. (alternatively puree the spinach and add). Add a little water to adjust the consistency if needed.
Let the spinach cook well. After about 4-5 min add garam masala, adjust the taste if required and garnish with chopped coriander leaves. (I didn't have to as the impatient two-some at home were grabbing the curry while I was still working on it!!)
