Channa Saag Recipe

Wash and Prepare Spinach

Thoroughly wash the fresh spinach leaves under running water to remove any dirt. Drain and chop roughly.

Prepare Other Vegetables

Finely chop the onion and chop the tomatoes. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.

Cook the Onions

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Add Garlic and Ginger

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Incorporate Tomatoes and Spices

Add the chopped tomatoes, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften.

Add Spinach and Garbanzo Beans

Stir in the chopped spinach and drained garbanzo beans. Cook until the spinach wilts down, about 3-4 minutes.

Finish with Garam Masala

Sprinkle the garam masala over the mixture and stir well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Serve

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with rice or flatbread.
