I’m obsessed with Indian cuisine, not only because of the aroma, taste, and flavor but also due to the many health benefits. Spices in Indian food are anti-inflammatory and a booster of the immune system. There are so many spices used in this dish including turmeric, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, garam masala, and kasoori methi.
The main component of this dish is protein-packed chickpeas. Why are chickpeas good for us? They are a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They are also high in protein, whichmakessess an excellent replacement for meat in vegetarian and vegan diets.
This recipe is a 30 minute, 1-pot chana masala, easy to make, extremely flavorful, and satisfying. A healthy, fiber & protein-packed meal that the entire family will enjoy.
