Fresh Style Chana Masala (Kind of) by Colleen Guenther

I haven't made a lot of Indian dishes simply because I do not have a lot of Indian spices on hand and I don't have a lot of experience cooking with them. Justin and I got a hair up our tooties to go to the Indian supermarket today to get some Indian spices because we were craving the flavor but our fave restaurant was not open. After wondering around like a bunch of kindergarteners staring at all of the foreign brands and products, we somehow managed to put a few items into our basket. Needless to say, we did good. Somehow, and thankfully, we always do.

What you need (serves 2-4 depending on how much you eat of course):

1 can garbanzo beans
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 inch of ginger minced
2 cloves of garlic minced
1 small red onion finely chopped
2 TBS MDH Chana Masala spice mix
Fresh chopped cilantro
1 Serrano pepper de-seeded and minced  (if you want it that spicy)
1 Cup water
1 big dash of sea salt
Basmati Rice

Sautee 1/2 of the onion, garlic and ginger for a few minutes. Add in all of the other ingredients except for all of the cilantro and onion. Keep some of the onion and cilantro to add as a topper when it is dished up. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for about 30 minutes. Serve over rice.
