CHANA MASALA (SAVORY INDIAN CHICK PEAS)



Chana Masala (Savory Indian Chick Peas) image

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!

Tips & Conclusion

Chickpea cumin dip is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or even a main course. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste preferences. Here are some tips for making the best chickpea cumin dip:

  • Use high-quality chickpeas. Canned chickpeas are perfectly fine, but if you have time, cooking your own chickpeas from scratch will give you the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't skip the cumin. Cumin is the star of this dish, so don't be afraid to use a generous amount. If you don't have ground cumin, you can substitute cumin seeds, but be sure to toast them first to bring out their flavor.
  • Use fresh lemon juice. Fresh lemon juice adds a bright, tangy flavor to the dip. If you don't have fresh lemons on hand, you can use bottled lemon juice, but be sure to dilute it with a little water so that it's not too sour.
  • Add other spices to taste. If you like, you can add other spices to the dip, such as paprika, chili powder, or cayenne pepper. Just be careful not to overdo it, or you'll overpower the flavor of the chickpeas and cumin.
  • Serve with your favorite dippers. Chickpea cumin dip is delicious with a variety of dippers, such as pita chips, crackers, vegetables, or even fruit. You can also use it as a sandwich spread or as a topping for tacos or burritos.

Chickpea cumin dip is a healthy and delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to get your daily dose of protein, fiber, and vitamins, and it's also a good source of antioxidants. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give chickpea cumin dip a try.
