The ultimate comfort dish: melt-in-your-mouth chickpeas.
It really was bland. Follow the advice of others to double the quantity of spices and other ingredients such as ginger and tomato paste. I would also recommend the following: Some green or black cardamon, a pinch of cinnamon, one or two teaspons of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice and using vegetable broth rather than water.
This turned out really bland - will try the suggestion to double the spices next time. Might be better with drained canned tomatoes.I have made this half a dozen times now, slightly obsessed. I double+ the spices, add cardamom and white pepper for punch. Also, if you used canned tomatoes make sure to omit the can’s liquid... Makes it a sloppy mess. All in all, this is a really great dish!It was pretty good. I've had more flavorful channa masala. Forty-five to sixty minutes cook time is long for using canned beans.This was... amazing. I made it with dried chickpeas so instead of adding 2 c hot water I just added 2 c of the bean cooking liquid which maybe boosted the flavor a bit but either way this was absolutely incredible! Served it with store bought naan and can't wait to make it again!
