About Chana Masala

Chana masala is a North Indian curried dish made with white chickpeas, onions, tomatoes, flavors and spices. ‘Chana’ is a Hindi word for ‘Chickpeas’ and ‘Masala’ here alludes to a ‘flavored sauce. So Chana Masala is only chickpeas stewed in a fiery onion tomato masala
However the dish started in the Punjab locale of India, it is made in various ways across the Indian sub-mainland. So Chana masala is a typical term that alludes to a chickpea curry.
You will find anyplace from very fiery to gentle restrained forms. The recipe shared here will yield you in the middle between the both however you can undoubtedly up or chop down the flavors further to suit your taste.

My Recipe

Update: You can track down the old recipe toward the finish of this post.
This recipe follows the customary technique for making chana masala with dried chickpeas. So we start with splashing the chana short-term and afterward cook them until delicate. In a different container we make the masala, very much like whatever other Indian curry where onions are sautéed and afterward cooked with tomatoes and flavors.
Ultimately the delicate cooked chickpeas are stewed in the curry so they retain the flavors in general. The completed dish is similarly sound and heavenly with an eruption of flavors.
For a faster planning you can pick the canned chickpeas, so you don’t need to douse and cook them. Be that as it may, the surface of canned chickpeas isn’t the equivalent generally. You will find anyplace from somewhat half-cooked to soft chickpeas. So for an ideal chana masala, guarantee you utilize totally delicate cooked yet not soft chana. To a greater degree toward this in the Faq segment underneath.
In Indian homes, splashed chickpeas are pressure cooked to save some time. In the event that you don’t have a strain cooker and need to make the recipe with dried chickpeas, allude my Faq segment to cook them in pot.

Faqs

No opportunity to douse or neglected to splash the chana?
Forget about it! You can give them a moment drench by pouring 6 cups of bubbling water to 1 cup of chana. Cover and save for 60 minutes. Later tension cook them as taught in the recipe. Be that as it may, the surface and kind of the chana isn’t something similar. Splashed chana are lighter in surface and concoct well without any problem. They are more straightforward to process when drenched and forestalls belly disturbs.
How to cook chickpeas in a pot?
Cooking chickpeas in a pot takes around 45 to an hour. Douse the dried chickpeas short-term with 1/3 teaspoon baking pop. The following morning channel the water and flush them well. Carry 3 cups of water to a moving bubble and add them. Cook until delicate, disposing of any foam that comes on top.
How to utilize canned chickpeas?
Because of the acidic fixings in the sauce, chana won’t cook further in the wake of adding it to the masala. So ensure your canned chickpeas are delicate and adequately delicate yet hold shape. Test by pressing an in the middle of between your thumb and forefinger, it ought to crush without any problem.
Assuming they are still hard, channel the fluid and flush them well. Add them to a pot and cook them with 1 cup water until delicate. This is a fundamental stage for delicate chana.

How to Make Chana Masala (Stepwise Photos)

Prepare Chana

Add 1 cup dried chickpeas to a large bowl and rinse them well a few times. Pour 3/½ to 4 cups fresh water and soak them overnight or for at least 8 hours. Later drain the water & rinse them well.

Pressure cooker: Pour 1½ cups fresh water to the chana and pressure cook for 5 to 6 whistles on a medium heat. If using Instant pot, cook them for 18 minutes on a high pressure. Once the pressure drops naturally, open the lid.

Regular pot: Cook the soaked chana with 3 cups water in a heavy bottom pot. Please check the faq section for more details.

Test the texture

Test if the chana is soft cooked, tender and holds its shape (not mushy). When you squeeze a chana it should get mashed completely. If it is still firm, it is undercooked and you need to cook it longer.

Make Onion Tomato Masala

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a pot and add the whole spices (optional). You will need 1 bay leaf, 1 inch cinnamon, 2 cloves and 2 green cardamoms. If you do not have them simply skip.

When they begin to sizzle add 1 ½ cups fine chopped onions and saute until golden. If you want you may add a slit green chili for heat but I do not use it

Add 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste and saute for a minute, making sure not to burn it

Add 1 ½ cup tomatoes (or tomato puree) and 4 teaspoon salt. Continue to cook until the tomatoes break down and turn mushy. You may cover and cook to quicken the process.

the tomatoes break down and turn mushy. You may cover and cook to quicken the process.

Next add all the ground spices 1 to 1½ teaspoons Kashmiri Red chilli powder (I use 1/2) 1/4 teaspoon turmeric 1 teaspoon garam masala 2 teaspoons coriander powder 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder.

Saute on a medium flame until the masala smells aromatic. This takes about 3 to 4 minutes.

This step is optional and you may skip if you want your gravy to be chunky. You have the option to skip this step or blend the onion tomato masala to a coarse or smooth paste depending on how you want your chana masala gravy.

indianhealthyrecipes.com/chara-masala/wpm-recipe-container-37228 If you prefer to blend it, discard the bay leaf and cinnamon first. Cool the mixture and blend to a paste. Optionally I also prefer to add 2 tablespoons of cooked chana to the blender. Later add the puree back to the same pan.

Add the chana alongside the stock in which you cooked it. You will be left with 1/4 cup stock which you will add it. Pour more water on a case by case basis to make a sauce. I use about ¾ to 1 cup more water. On the off chance that you don’t puree the onion tomato masala you will require lesser.

Canned chickpeas: Channel the fluid in the can, flush the chana well with new water and use here. Pour 2 cups water.

Mix everything well and taste test. Add more salt if required.

Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, until the gravy turns thick.

Add ½ teaspoon amchur powder (optional) and 1 teaspoon kasuri methi. Crush it in your palms first and then sprinkle.

This is the right consistency – thick. Chana masala will thicken slightly further upon cooling.

Serve Chana Masala with fluffy Basmati Rice, Jeera rice, Naan, Roti or Paratha.

Pro Tips

Whole Spices are optional and you may leave them out. But they infuse an extra layer of flavors.

Garam masala & other spices: Make sure you use a good aromatic Garam masala like this one. Every brand of spice powder is different.

So adjust the quantities slightly according to your spice powder and your taste. Start with lesser garam masala if you are using a strong one. If required add more before you finish the dish.

Dried Chickpeas: It is very important to use fresh stock of the chickpeas. Old legumes do not cook up to a softer texture and may take forever to cook. However if you are skeptical about the age of your chana, add a pinch of baking soda while you cook them in the pressure cooker.

But let me warn you the stock will have an aftertaste of the baking soda so you may discard it and use fresh water for cooking the gravy.
