Delicious Chana Masala

One of the best homemade Indian recipes I have tried. I followed the recipe almost exactly except that I 1) used canned green chiles because I forgot to buy a fresh one 2) added fresh cilantro at the end (along with the lemon juice). Served with jasmine rice and oven roasted cauliflower. Hubs liked it and so did the kids!

Seriously yum! And simple to make. I used canned diced tomatoes, but other than that made it as described.

I tried it for breakfast one day and I loved it, Great taste as it is.

Love this. So delicious, a terrific balance of flavors... Just A+ all the way around. Even my husband, who doesn't particularly like chickpeas, liked this.

A staple for me when I want something vegan and fast- even better the next day!

So so so good. Finally a recipe that matched the taste of a local restaurant’s channa masala that sadly closed down. I used (2) Serrano peppers and 3/4 tsp of cayenne pepper to bump up the heat. Also added fresh chopped cilantro at the end into the mix and then as a garnish. Will for sure be making this again.

Excellent! I was making tandoori chicken & wanted to make an Indian side dish to compliment. I happened to have all the ingredients (except the jalapeño, so made a quick run to the store) and was able to put this together for dinner tonight. It was better than the chicken. I have to admit that I used canned garbanzo beans and canned stewed tomatoes, but it was still soooo good! I only used 1 jalapeño, but we love spice so will use 2 next time. Topped with cilantro and also had jasmine rice and naans, but the Chana masala was the star of the show.

This was a good recipe. I omitted the yogurt and it was still very good.

Delicious! Followed the recipe and very happy with the results! Spicy and well balanced flavours. Can’t wait to enjoy the leftovers!

I did make this again but I cut down on the lemon. The first time I made it I used a fairly large lemon and it was too much.

Surprised the tomato sauce worked, but it did!

This was ok, but probably won’t try it again.

This is a great weeknight recipe, very simple and delicious. I don't use tomatoes and instead use a small can of tomatoe sauce. Has a rich flavor and is easy on the wallet too!

Very good dish, a little on the bland side for me. My husband was a huge fan.

Great taste! Easy to make. I used a 1/2 lemon juice instead.

Delicious version, will make again.

I used a can of diced tomato instead of a whole tomato, and let it cook longer. It also needed more salt than just a dash. 2 dashes at least..

Very good, easy to make and delicious. My husband loved it. We will be cooking it again.

A little time-consuming but a delicious and healthy weeknight meal. Bonus: keeps well as leftovers

I followed this recipe as close as I could. I used can tomatoes instead of fresh ones. I think it is great for a meal without any protein.

This is simple and great, simply great! I doubled the tomato sauce and yogurt as well as added chicken. I, too, used canned green chilies and it was still delicious!

I love this! I forgot to buy yogurt so I subbed sour cream and it was great.

Family loved this. I substituted 1 t. chili powder for the cayenne to kick up the spice. I did not have yogurt, served sour cream on the side of the dish, for individual preferences.

This had a decent taste spice wise (not very hot) but was too strong of a tomato flavor for us. Also didn't love the consistency/texture - not sure exactly why.

we used kosher salt and it tasted great!

Very good. A perfect weeknight meal.

I loved it. I made half a recipe and found I needed a little more oil to cook the onions. I also cooked the onions for about 8 min prior to adding in the garlic (so as not to burn it!). It is a great recipe - warm comfort food with all the warm Indian spices. Definitely will do again.

I will definitely make it again. The sauce is beautiful!

Why yes, I used three jalapenos (they were small) and I enjoyed this so much I ate two servings. And I ate it again for breakfast. :) This is very flavorful and comes very close to my favorite Indian restaurants version. A keeper!

I made this as directed, and we absolutely loved it!

I love Indian food,but here in my small town we do not have a restaraunt and I have to make my own to get my fix. This is delicious! I serve it with Nam and rice and spinach paneer.

I would do this again. Even my picky non-tomatoe eating toddler just crushed it.

Delicious!!!!

Cut back on the lemon, otherwise great!

Absolutely wonderful! I didn't have fresh ginger or tomatoes, so I used ground ginger and canned diced tomatoes. I also used jalapeño! I simmered for about an hour too. This is perfectly paired with the Naan recipe from this site too! I will definitely make again!!!
