Whether you’re a seasoned lover of Indian cuisine or a newcomer to its flavors, this Chana Saag is the perfect dish to savor the richness of traditional Indian flavors. We transform humble ingredients into a nourishing and flavorful meal.
Start by making the onions sweet and golden. Imagine them as the cozy base for your spices. Next, garlic, ginger, and, if you’re feeling brave, add some green chili for more flavor and depth. Allow them let them sizzle for just two minutes, filling your kitchen with an incredible aroma. Throw in crushed tomatoes and powdered spices, and the flavor base is complete. Next, bring in the spinach and let the leaves wilt and mingle with your spiced tomato base. Allow our mixture to cool down, then bring in some brightness with fresh cilantro and lemon juice. Blend everything together to make a creamy green, velvety smooth curry to add to your protein-rich chickpeas.
Modification suggestions:
Please feel free to use thawed frozen spinach if you don’t have fresh. Just make sure to squeeze all the moisture out.
If you want an extra creamy curry, add 1/2 a cup of full-fat coconut milk. This will make the curry rich and velvety and will bring out the vibrant green color.
Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh cilantro to complete the dish, and serve with a simple kachumber salad.
