This vibrant dish features tender chickpeas simmered in a spiced tomato onion gravy, enriched with fresh spinach and a touch of paneer for creaminess. Each spoonful bursts with warm, aromatic spices balanced by the freshness of greens, making it a comforting meal that awakens the senses.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked chickpeas (164g)
2 cups fresh spinach (60g)
75g paneer
1 small onion (70g)
1 medium tomato (123g)
2 garlic cloves
1 inch fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil (2.5g)
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt to taste
PREPARATION
Heat the 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for about 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add finely chopped onion, and sauté until translucent and lightly golden.
Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1 minute.
Add chopped tomato and cook until it softens and begins to break down.
Mix in turmeric powder, garam masala, chili powder, and salt, stirring well to combine the spices with the onion-tomato mixture.
Add the cooked chickpeas to the pan, stirring to coat them in the spices. Let them simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Fold in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt into the mixture, about 2 minutes.
Gently add the paneer cubes, stirring carefully to avoid breaking them, and let them warm through for about 2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.
