Vegan Chana Makhani is a delightful twist on the classic Indian dish, featuring creamy coconut milk and aromatic spices. It's hearty, flavorful, and perfect for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients: 1 cup dried chickpeas, soaked overnight. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. 1 onion, finely chopped. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1-inch piece ginger, grated. 1 teaspoon ground cumin. 1 teaspoon ground coriander. 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder. 1/2 teaspoon paprika. 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper. 1 cup tomato puree. 1/2 cup coconut milk. Salt to taste. Chopped cilantro for garnish.
Instructions: If you soaked chickpeas, drain and rinse them. Put the vegetable oil in a large pot and heat it over medium-low heat. Put in the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until it gets soft. Add the ginger and garlic that have been chopped up, and cook for two more minutes. Put in the cayenne pepper, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, and ground cumin. Stir the food all the time for one minute. Add the coconut milk and tomato puree. Mix things together well. Put the chickpeas that have been soaked into the pot and stir them around to cover them with the sauce. Turn down the heat and let the mixture simmer for a while. Place a lid on top and cook for one to one and a half hours, or until the chickpeas are soft. Add salt to your liking. Add chopped cilantro as a garnish before serving.
