Hearty Chana Masala with Basmati Rice
Chickpeas and pressed tofu simmered in a fragrant tomato-ginger sauce, served over fluffy basmati rice with a cooling dollop of creamy Greek yogurt.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Extra-firm tofu
0.5 cup Cooked chickpeas
0.25 cup Cooked basmati rice
0.5 cup Tomato puree
0.33 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
0.25 tsp Ghee
0.5 cup Yellow onion
1 tsp Garlic
1 tsp Ginger
1 tsp Garam masala
0.5 tsp Ground cumin
0.25 tsp Ground turmeric
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 cup Water
PREPARATION
Press the tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture and cut into half-inch cubes.
Heat the ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tofu cubes until they are golden brown on all sides.
Add the diced yellow onion to the skillet and sauté for 4 minutes until translucent and soft.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1 minute until highly aromatic.
Add the garam masala, cumin, turmeric, sea salt, and black pepper, stirring constantly to toast the spices.
Pour in the tomato puree, water, and chickpeas, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Divide the warm basmati rice into bowls and top with the hearty chana masala mixture.
Finish each serving with a generous dollop of plain Greek yogurt for a creamy, protein-rich contrast.
