Chana Masala and Kachumbar Raita

MEET ON: Sunday 4/19/20 at 6 pm EDT (class runs 60-90 minutes)
LIMIT: 14 attendees

Chana Masala

I’ve yet to have a better chickpea dish than Chana Masala. There are many version of this dish. My favorite is when the chickpeas are smothered with a delicious thick, piquant & spiced gravy. It’s often served with fried bhaturas or had as a chaat. At home we serve it with sliced red onions, lime wedges and ginger slivers pickled in fresh lime juice.

This dish is great with naan, or you can make Aloo parathas. If you want to be sinful, heat up some Malaysian parathas!

You need:

1 large can chickpeas, rinsed well and drained
2 medium onions, chopped
3-4 cloves garlic, crushed
1.5” ginger, grated or mashed (or 1.5 tbsp ginger garlic paste)
1-2 green chillies, chopped (optional)
½ heaped cup crushed tomatoes (1 cup if using fresh)

Spices:
Coriander, cumin, turmeric, red chilli powder, asafoetida (optional), amchur (raw mango powder) or tamarind, garam masala*
OR
Magic curry powder*
Chaat Masala*
Garam masala*

*We’ll ship these spices to you if you don’t have them.

Kachumbar Raita

Raita is a yogurt condiment served with Indian food – this version is made with a typical Indian salad called Kachumbar, which is similar to the Mexican pico de gallo. It’s refreshing and a must with a good Punjabi meal. (It can be made with plant based yogurt, or had without yogurt as a salad).

You need:

Yoghurt, whipped till smooth
Tomatoes, diced
Onions, diced
Cucumber, diced
Cilantro, chopped
Roasted cumin powder
Salt
Sugar
