Chana Masala
Chana Masala is a hearty North Indian stew of chickpeas simmered in a spiced tomato and onion gravy with warming spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala. Tangy and aromatic, it pairs beautifully with rice or flatbreads like naan. A protein-rich vegetarian classic, it’s easy to prepare and full of vibrant flavor.
