chana masala

The chana masala is a stew of chickpeas originating in India, in particular it is a dish from the Punjab region, between India and Pakistan, widespread throughout southern Asia. The main ingredient of the dish is chickpeas, but also onions, chopped tomatoes, turmeric, coriander seeds, garlic, chilli, ginger, dried mango powder, crushed pomegranate seeds and garam masala. The result is a slightly moist and spicy dish, with a slight sour note given by citrus fruit.
