Chana Masala (Chickpea Curry)

This is a really easy dish to make considering how tasty it is and it's also full of protein AND vegetarian. How does it get better than that? You can add loads of things to this dish if you want to pad it out a bit, try potatoes or spinach if you want to keep it vegetarian or chicken or lamb if you're a carnivore. 


INGREDIENTS:

1 Onion 
4 Cloves Garlic
1 inch piece ginger
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 can chickpeas in water
1 large red chilli
1 small green chilli
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon salt

- Chop onion and garlic finely and add to a pan with a small amount of oil, fry until lightly brown.
- Add both chillies and a teaspoon of cumin, turmeric and salt. (If you're adding meat, do it at this point)
- Add 1 can of chopped tomatoes and bring to simmer. 
- Add a small amount of water to the pan along with the can of chickpeas and cook for around 5 minutes until water has evaporated. (if you want to add spinach or cooked potatoes, do it now)
- Add 1 teaspoon of garam masala, grated ginger and stir in some coriander if desired and simmer for another couple of minutes.
- Serve over rice or with naan bread and a coriander garnish.
