Chana Masala

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 medium onions, sliced

• 4 cloves garlic, smashed

• 1 3/4” piece of ginger, grated

• 1 green chili (like Serrano), diced

• tomato paste

• 14oz can of whole, peeled tomatoes

• 7oz dry chickpeas (garbanzo beans)

• turmeric

• cumin

• chili powder

• garam masala

• asafetida

• salt

STEP ONE

Sauté two onions until very brown and caramelized. To promote browning, don’t stir very often.

This should take about 12-15 minutes over medium-high heat. But, if they’re not brown enough, just wait longer.
