Recipe for channa masala???!


Question:

Recipe for channa masala???

Does anyone have a TRUED AND TRUE recipe for channa masala?? Not a link to recipes (tried some of those already), but one that someone makes often and has perfected. I just can't seem to get it right! Preferably one with just chick peas, no potatoes or other veggies. Thank you for your help!


Answers: I am a former chef from Canada and love India food, and Channa Masala is my favorite, I tend to make it on the hot side.

Just a simple based of fine chopped onions, garlic, green chilis and or dried red chili flakes and ginger, saute with a bit of ghee or oil or even both, add you favorite curry powder or paste, cook to get the raw taste out, add some stock, or just plain old water, I like a few fresh tomatos in mine or sauce, even a little paste is fine.

I use 2 large cans of cooked chickpeas, and simmer them for 1-1 1/2 hours, if you like a thicker base add some flour to the base before the water, or a slurry of cornstarch just to tighten up the sauce. A little chopped cilantro and a dribble of yougart to add a texture.
