One of India’s most popular dishes — Chana Masala — features chickpeas simmered with tomatoes. Here, we’ve added sweet potatoes and greens to make the dish even more interesting and satisfying.
½ large onion, chopped as you like
1 tablespoon vegetable oil of your choice
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon turmeric
½ teaspoon coriander
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 (15 oz) can chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
2 small or 1 large sweet potato, cut in chunks
½ (15 oz) can light coconut milk
1 cup chopped spinach or other greens

TB says: It was so different from my normal meal but I enjoyed it for dinner. Also, my husband and I had it for lunch.
SE says: Too much cinnamon, liquid doesnt boil off if it’s covered
Penelope P says: Delicious!
Lynda says: This was delicious and simple to make, very flavorful; made cooking Indian style quite east.
Annette says: This was delicious! My kids ate it up, even after eyeing it suspiciously (like they always do). I added frozen peas at the end because we had just used up our spinach, but everything else was the same. I will make this again!
Shawn says: This went over in our house better than I could have hoped! Wife doesn’t usually care for Indian food but loved. Even better, the kids are it! Will definitely make again.
