How to Prepare Healthy Chana Masala [Vegan, Grain-Free]
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the onion, ginger, and garlic. Cook until the onions have softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- When the onions have softened, add tomato puree and all the spices. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 5-6 minutes.
- Once the tomatoes are cooked, add the chickpeas and water. Mix well and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the flavors have mixed and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.
- Serve the chana masala with rice, naan, or chapatis.
