- 793g can whole peeled or diced tomatoes, with their juices
- 793g can chickpeas, or 750 ml cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 250 ml dry/uncooked basmati rice, for serving
- drizzle fresh lemon juice, for serving
- handful fresh coriander, chopped, for serving
Method
In a large wok or saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. When a drop of water sizzles upon hitting the pan, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the cumin seeds. Stir and toast the seeds for a minute or two until golden and fragrant, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Raise the heat to medium and stir in the onion, garlic, ginger, and serrano. Cook for a few minutes or so, then stir in the garam masala, coriander, turmeric, salt, and cayenne, and cook for 2 minutes more.
Add the whole peeled tomatoes and their juices and break them apart with a wooden spoon. You can leave some chunks of tomato for texture.
Raise the heat to medium-high and add the chickpeas. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes or longer to allow the flavours to develop.
Serve over cooked basmati rice, and garnish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and some chopped coriander just before serving.
Top Tip for making Chana Masala
For a grain-free option, serve the chana masala atop a baked potato.
