looks warm and filling
fact checked: true
Get some kasoori methi (fenugreek leaves) for finishing stuff like this imo. I love to make chana saag (basically this with a bunch of greens) and methi is soooo good in it. Smells vaguely like maple syrup and it's hard to overdo it.
If you ever need more tomato, you can add fairly thin wedges of fresh tomato when serving it.
Indian food isn't pretentious like that, especially home cooked Indian food, and you can kinda chuck whatever in and it's almost certainly going to work because it's just spices and chickpeas. (Technically this sort of garnishing is done in fancier settings with Indian food often because it adds brightness and freshness to the dish but whatever, it's not about trying to live up to restaurant standards - it's about enjoying what you cook.)
Chana masala is so good yim yum
it is! i'm shocked at how such a simple recipe turned out so good!
My go to recipe is an Adam Ragusea recipe and it's dead easy but really yummy
I had a really good chana masala last week! Such a good dish
I didn't make mine though.
