Chana Aloo Masala

Tasty as hell curry from our friend Lyn powered up with some peanuts. This makes enough for about 4 -6 portions.

Ingredients

Coconut oil

1 onion

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp cumin seeds

1/2tsp coriander

1/4tsp ginger 

2tsp garam  masala

3 cardomon pods, crushes

1tsp cayenne pepper

1 can chickpeas

1 can coconut milk

1 large potato, diced and par-boiled

3 chillis

1 cup peanuts

1/4 cup lentils

Pinch of salt

1tsb coriander to garnish

Method

-Put a tsb of coconut oil in a big pan and melt it down. Sweat the onions and peanuts together til you get a bit of caramelisation on the go.

-Add garlic, chilli, all the spices and a touch more oil if it’s dry. Turn up the heat and toast it up!

-Add 1/4cup water

-Add tomatos(I mash them a bit in the can with a fork first) and lentils, boil for a few mins, reduce heat and add coconut milk.

-Add potato and chickpeas then simmer for 30mins or til whenever you think it’s done.

Serve with rice, spinach and a can of Ting.


Looks fairly normal, tastes epic.
