CHANA MASALA (SAVORY INDIAN CHICK PEAS)
Indian food is not just curried sauces. It's not too exotic either. Unless 'exotic' is code for 'yummy and full of flavor.' This dish features a healthy mixture of chickpeas, tomatoes, onion, and spices. Both carnivores and vegetarians will enjoy this meal. My kids love it. Leave out the green chile if the kiddies will be eating. Serve over basmati or jasmine rice and enjoy. Namaste y'all!

Steps:
- Grind onion, tomato, ginger, garlic, and chile pepper together in a food processor into a paste.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry bay leaves in hot oil until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour the paste into the skillet and cook until the oil begins to separate from the mixture and is golden brown in color, 2 to 3 minutes. Season the mixture with chili powder, coriander, powder, gram masala, turmeric, and salt; cook and stir until very hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir enough water into the mixture to get a thick gravy; bring to a boil and stir chickpeas into the gravy. Reduce heat to medium and cook until the chickpeas are heated through, 5 to 7 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.

Steps:
- Soak Kabuli Channa overnight (To avoid this step, use canned Garbanzo Beans available at any Super Market).
- Boil the Channa over slow heat in a covered pot with lots of water and salt (no need to add salt later).
- Keep checking the level of water often.
- Boil till channa is soft and can be broken by pressing between fingers.
- This can take several hours.
- Time can be reduced by adding baking soda (but I would not recommend).
- Mix all spices together in a bowl.
- Once the Channa is boiled and done add the spice mixture and bring it to a boil.
- Do not leave much water.
- Garnish with Chopped Coriander.
- Notes:.
- Clove powder can make it spicy and hot. If you do not like it spicy avoid clove powder.
- If you want to make it tangy increase the quantity of Dry Mango Powder or add a little tamaring juice.
