Chickpea Chana Saag with Rice
Makes 2 servings

INGREDIENTS
Two tins, drained (400 g) Chickpeas, tinned and drained (Drained weight. A 400 g tin drains to about 240 g.)
250 g Spinach (It looks like far too much. It is not.)
150 g Onion
Half a tin (200 g) Chopped tomatoes, tinned
10 g Rapeseed oil
3 cloves, about 9 g Garlic
A thumb, grated Fresh ginger
1, chopped Fresh red chilli
2 tsp Curry powder
1 tsp Garam masala
200 g Cooked white rice (Cooked weight. About 50 g of dry rice becomes 130 g cooked.)
A squeeze Lemon juice

METHOD
1. Fry the chopped onion in the oil for ten minutes until it is soft and starting to brown, then add the garlic, ginger, chilli and curry powder and cook for a minute.
2. Add the tomatoes and simmer for five minutes until the sauce thickens and the oil starts to separate at the edges.
3. Wilt the spinach into the pan in batches, then blitz half the sauce with a stick blender if you want it smooth. Add the chickpeas and 100 ml of water and simmer for ten minutes.
4. Finish with the garam masala, salt and lemon. Serve with the rice.

Check ingredient packaging for allergen information.
Some blends include mustard seed. Check the jar.

RECIPE NOTES
Frying the onion until it browns is the step people skip, and it is where the depth comes from. Ten minutes is a minimum.
Two tins of chickpeas between two people is the reason the protein reaches 22 g without any dairy.
