Chana Masala image

This version of chana masala uses spinach instead of tomatoes, like my favorite Indian restaurant makes. It is so easy to throw together, and pretty healthy to boot! A perfect meal on a cold winter night when served with naan and basmati rice.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chana masala turned out bland.

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less chili powder next time.
