This is a delicious dish that is a simple take on one of the most popular dishes in the whole of India. called chana masala and is usually eaten with a gorgeous soft bread called patoora or bhatura.
I like to use dried chickpeas which I soak overnight and then cook in the pressure cooker but if you do want to use a shortcut then make up the masala and pour in a tin of chickpeas and cook through with the sauce. If you're using tinned chickpeas there is no reason to cook them in a pressure cooker.
Sometimes I like to cook this dish with more of a gravy, but other times I like to reduce the sauce until it clings to the chickpeas. I like to serve the dish with finely sliced onions and chillies, with a good squeeze of lemon juice.
Top Tip:
If you haven’t got the time to make this in the evening, then you can slow cook it so it’s ready when you get in. Find out more here.
