saag chole (spinach and chickpeas) (recipe)

 

this is what i made for dinner tonight and it was sooo

good. i made basmati rice and the samosas to go with

it.

 

saag chole (spinach and chickpeas)

 

2 medium onions

1/2 inch piece fresh ginger

2 cloves garlic

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

2 medium tomatoes, chopped coarsely

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander seeds

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

salt to taste

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

20 ounces (2 packages) frozen chopped spinach, thawed

and drained

1 1/2 cups cooked, drained chickpeas

1 teaspoon garam masala

1 tablespoon lemon juice

 

slice the onions into thin half rounds. grate the

ginger and garlic. in a large heavy-bottomed skillet

over medium heat, warm the oil. add the cumin. when

it darkens (1 to 2 seconds), add the grated ginger and

garlic. cook for 1 minute, then add the sliced onions

and saute until lightly browned (about 8 minutes).

add the tomatoes and cook until soft (about 5

minutes). add the coriander, turmeric, salt, and

cayenne. mix well, then add the spinach. mix again,

cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook for 25

minutes, stirring occasionally. mix in the chickpeas

and cook for 5 more minutes. add the garam masala and

lemon juice and serve hot.

india by smita chandra (the crossing press, 1991).

hi kali,

you are welcome for the recipe. i posted the samosas

recipe last week or the week before...so i assume it's

in the files somewhere. if you can't find it, i'll

post it again...let me know. : )

for the basmati rice, i just followed the cooking

instructions that came with the rice.

i hope you try the saag chole...it was soo good and

really quick and easy to prepare. my hubby ate the

tiny bit of leftovers this morning and said it was

still very good.
