Preparation

1 Pop a large wok/pan onto the hob on medium heat, then add in the oil. 2 Once the oil is hot, add in the onions and ginger and shallow fry for around 2-4 minutes. 3 Add the onion & ginger mixture into a food processor/blender and blend until smooth and pop back into the wok/pan. 4 Add in the garlic paste, cumin, chilli powder, ground coriander, turmeric, garam masala, pepper, salt and coconut sugar (optional) 5 Stir until combined. Add 1 tablespoon of oil if too dry/needed. 6 Add in the tomatoes and chickpeas, stir to coat. 7 If the mixture is too thick, you can add in 1/4 cup of water. 8 Add in the coconut cream and cook for around 20-25 minutes on low/medium heat covered with a lid, stirring frequently. 9 The chana masala will thicken while its cooking. 10 Once cooked, serve warm with rice, naan bread, popadom, samosas.. anything you fancy to make an Indian feast!
