Although simple to make, it is far from simple in taste and enjoyment. It is better than any chana masala I’ve eaten at any restaurant!

Absolutely perfect. A few extras I added. No cayenne, so used a little Kashmiri chilli powder. As a kiwi, I like a hint of sweet, so a little sugar. No fresh chillies on hand, so used old El Paso jar jalapeno. The whole spices were perfect.

This was very good! I used extra garam marsala and a bit more ginger.

I made this comment once before but, for those of you new to this amazing recipe, I dice up a couple of chicken breasts, cook them ahead of time in some olive oil on the stove, then add them to this recipe at the point where you add the chickpeas to cook. This dish then becomes a true meal with additional protein…it’s wonderful!

Hi Kate, very happy finding you & your recipes this morning! I’m looking forward to making the Chana Masala soon.
I often have the packet version as a quick standby meal but making it from scratch looks very easy.
Thank you!

In reply to Maggie. Hi Maggie, I'm revisiting your comment. I wonder if you would enjoy this recipe more with a different brand of canned tomatoes. Some brands taste so much better than others. My preferred brand is Muir Glen.

This is terrific just as written. Have made this 3 times now and is a go-to for a quick hearty lunch. For those that do not like the acidic taste of the tomato (my husband), a pinch of sugar or some cinnamon will fix that. The tomatoes you choose should taste good to you straight from the can, as their quality effects the taste significantly. Thank you Kate
