CHANA MASALA (SAVORY INDIAN CHICK PEAS)
Indian food is not just curried sauces. It's not too exotic either. Unless 'exotic' is code for 'yummy and full of flavor.' This dish features a healthy mixture of chickpeas, tomatoes, onion, and spices. Both carnivores and vegetarians will enjoy this meal. My kids love it. Leave out the green chile if the kiddies will be eating. Serve over basmati or jasmine rice and enjoy. Namaste y'all!

Steps:
- Grind onion, tomato, ginger, garlic, and chile pepper together in a food processor into a paste.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry bay leaves in hot oil until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour the paste into the skillet and cook until the oil begins to separate from the mixture and is golden brown in color, 2 to 3 minutes. Season the mixture with chili powder, coriander, powder, gram masala, turmeric, and salt; cook and stir until very hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir enough water into the mixture to get a thick gravy; bring to a boil and stir chickpeas into the gravy. Reduce heat to medium and cook until the chickpeas are heated through, 5 to 7 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.

VEGETARIAN CHANA MASALA WITH SPINACH
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, sauté onions and garlic in olive oil until soft, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add chickpeas straight from the can, including all the water.
- Add lemon juice, curry powder, coriander powder, ground cumin, and garam masala. Simmer about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, adding more water if needed until chickpeas are cooked and soft.
- Reduce the heat, add spinach and cover. Allow spinach to wilt for 2 to 4 minutes.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your chana masala. A dish like this should be served with either plain white rice, simple Indian basmati rice , Indian lemon rice, or quinoa . But another alternative is to serve it with warm Indian bread such as naan, roti, or chapati. Those are excellent for dipping into the mixture. Refrigerate any leftovers and enjoy them within three to five days. Chana masala is perfect for freezing and taking to the office for lunch later, so make a double batch if you'd like. It will retain the best quality in the freezer for three to six months and reheats easily in the microwave. Be sure to label the container with the date and contents. For a heartier chana masala, toss in some tofu with the chickpeas and serve over rice.

VEGETARIAN INDIAN ALOO CHANA MASALA
I created this vegetarian Indian dish a couple weeks ago, and my 13-year-old son and husband are addicted to it. It has already become a regular staple in our home. It is perfectly spicy with an amazing aroma and a touch of sweetness from the sweet potatoes. Serve over Indian basmati rice and enjoy the exotic flavors. We use unsalted pumpkin seeds or unsalted cashews for a delicious crunchy garnish.
