**EASY RECIPE, FEEDS 4-6**
2 14 oz (400g) cans chickpeas, drained
1 14 oz (400g) can crushed tomatoes
1 4 oz (100g) can diced chiles
1 tablespoon garam masala
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried ginger
salt
oil
vinegar or lemon juice
fresh cilantro (optional)
Heat a little oil in a pot over medium heat and fry the garam masala until fragrant. Stir in the chiles, tomatoes, chickpeas, garlic powder, onion power, ginger powder and enough water to cover everything. Simmer 20-30 minutes until thickened, taste and add salt and lemon/vinegar to taste, and stir in some cilantro leaves. Serve over basmati rice.
**HARDER RECIPE, FEEDS 4-6**
1.5 cups (500g) dried kabuli chana (or other chickpeas)
1 large onion
2-4 fresh chiles
3-4 fresh tomatoes (or a 14 oz, 400g can of crushed tomatoes)
half a head of garlic
1 large thumb of ginger
5-10 green cardamom pods
2-3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon of coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1 black cardamom pod
1 small piece of cinnamon stick
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
tomato paste
ground amchoor or lemon juice
salt
sugar
ghee (or of oil)
fresh cilantro
Soak the chickpeas for at least a few hours, then boil with a teaspoon of salt until just tender.
Put the cumin, coriander seeds, peppercorns, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, black cardamom and cinnamon stick into a dry pan and toast over medium heat until fragrant. Cool and grind to a fine powder.
Peel and roughly chop the onion, garlic and ginger. Roughly chop the tomato and chiles. Heat some ghee in your widest pan over medium heat and fry your fresh-ground masala along with the turmeric until fragrant. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for a moment, then all the rest of the chopped vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, until enough water has evaporated that things are staring to brown. Deglaze the pan with a little water, then puree the contents. If you want a smooth sauce, push it through a fine mesh strainer.
Clean the pan, head some more ghee and fry the green cardamom pods and the bay leaves until fragrant. Put in about a tablespoon of tomato paste and fry it for moment before stirring in the pureed sauce. Stir in the cooked chickpeas along with as much cooking water as you want for the sauce texture you like, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Stir in amchoor powder (or lemon juice), salt, a pinch of sugar and fresh cilantro to taste. Remove the bay leaves and serve over basmati rice.

    Indian Mom Tip: If you're making this at home, soak the chana overnight. Baking soda is usually used in restaurants. If you want to, then try, but most suck at making masalas, so just buy a chana masala and garam masala . Make the veg gravy exactly as he made it, but in an open-lid non-electric pressure cooker (if you don't have one, you should probably get one, a lot of indian cooking happens in that. It's cheap.)because the pressure cooker helps disintegrate the veg pieces better. Put in the required amount of water along with chana, close the lid and voila. This makes the chana softer and no extra vessels to wash. Making rice that way is perfectly fine. Ancestors didn't have cookers. Even encouraged to throw a cardamom in there for smell and taste. You may dare to use any canned or tubed or any store bought stuff that can be made at home, but your local Indian mom may launch slippers against you. Btw, loved this video, there are so many more Indian foods that people should try out like dosas, idli and puri. Adam, point to be noted!

    To your point of onions being smaller in India - that is absolutely true. When I moved to the US, I was amazed at the size of onions here. Plus the variety - there's white, yellow, and red. Most Indian cooking just assumes red onion because it's the most common in India. Same with tomatoes - Indian recipes are better with regular tomatoes and NOT roma. Indian tomatoes are a little tangier than the ones available in the US. So I make up for it by adding a bit of tamarind.

    The act of frying the spices and vegetables together, in a relatively dry mixture is called 'Bhunna'. It is what helps bring the flavour together in most indian dishes. If you just toss the spices in to boiling water or just at the end, they still taste 'raw' and you don't get that flavour. The longer you can get away with sauteing the spices without burning them, the better the taste will be.

    Honestly, the reason I boil rice is because of Adam's other video that explained how boiling rice actually removes some of the arsenic that is in almost all rice. And a non-healthy amount, too. After boiling my rice, I found it was the most perfect fluffy rice I had ever made. It's fool proof, like Adam said. It's kind of funny that it's "controversial". As far as I can tell, there's no reason to not boil the rice except for adhering to tradition.

I say go for it - as the video says, you get the nice individual grains which is perfect for these dishes. In East Asian cuisine, we tend to use short-grain and want a good clumpy, solid yet fluffy bite. For that you will want to use absorption, no doubt.

Not every rice dish should be "fluffy" and for most East Asian style a really well done evap method leaves the outter shell of the rice just slightly on the al dente side with just a bit of bite and texture. Really good evap rice is soft in the center and firm on the outside. This is also why premium rice is aged, it cultivates the outer firmness.

    Don't worry Adam, that's exactly how most households in India cook rice at home. Folks with less time cook rice the lazy way by not removing the starch. The way I was thought was to cook the rice with excess water, drain the excess starch water from the pot by tilting it letting the water pour out, using the lid as a stopper to ensure the rice doesnt fall off. there might be 10~15 ml left, just cook that off for a minute or 2 to make it is a 1 pot process. I use a strainer while working with Basmati rice though. that stuff is too soft. In terms of the Channa masala, adding toasted spices to the oil will burn if left there for more than 10 seconds. I would brown the Onions first, and then add the toasted spices in later. If you want to try another ingredient, Try adding dried grounded pomegranate seeds instead of the dried mango slices for a more authentic taste

The seeds are quite bitter, aren't they? • When you put the onions and tomatoes together, you mentioned that it shouldn't matter. Well, if you put the onions first and let it turn golden and then add tomatoes then you will have two naturally sweet ingredients in your dish and you wouldn't need to add sugar at end 😀 • That basmati rice thing was atrocious. I will try it and see if i can trigger my mom 😂 • Instead of using ghee, if you use mustard oil then it would give you that sharp throat burning flavour which some people like (i personally like the mellow ghee flavour tho) • i never in my entire life imagined some non-indian using an ingredient like aam-chur.

I did a TikTok on the technique and lots of Pakistanis, Bengalis and south Indians are saying that's how they've cooked rice their whole life. I was skeptical about the technique too, but once I tried it, I was shocked. It's actually too effective for my taste - I prefer my rice clumpy.

    I'm Indian, and I have to say, the second version you made looks pretty similar to what my mom makes. Here's just a few things I've learned from watching her make it: -No need to chop up fresh ginger and garlic. My mom uses ginger garlic paste to make this herself, and I believe it's actually the traditional way to do it, so technically not cheating :) Though if you don't eat Indian food often like I do, it might indeed be better to just use fresh ginger and garlic so you don't have a huge bottle taking up room in your fridge for no reason. -My mom's always told me that garam masala should always be the very last thing you add in Indian cooking. It supposedly preserves the fresher taste. -My mom doesn't blend the tomatoes, but if you prefer the smoother texture, you absolutely can. -No need to make it with ghee, we use oil all the same. Overall though, I approve. I'll definitely be trying this out myself :)

    A few variations to consider -- Punjabi Chole : This one has to start from your "complicated" version at least because its big difference is just how you boil the chickpeas. The big secret? Black Tea. Just boil those soaked chana with a few tea bags, and yes, you will use that cooking water when you assemble everything in the skillet. Other than that, I've seen a few people add dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi), but I don't think it's an absolute. This is pretty much the version you'll find at almost all "chaat" places served with bhatura. There's also a variant called Paharganj Chole from Delhi, which is pretty similar to this one, but it's cooked down a lot more until it's nearly dry, and it is a much more concentrated flavor -- much spicier, much more acidic, stronger ginger aroma as well. South Indian Chole : This one you could start from the "simple" version, but it adds a complication. One is that there is at least one additional aromatic included in that mix along with the garam masala, chilli powder, etc., and that is anise... typically star anise. In addition, there's a puree added near the end that is used to enrich that gravy. Basically, it's a puree of coconut, cashew, fennel seeds, and optionally some poppyseeds. Adds a different character, but it's something you find in small dosa places, usually served with a paratha or puri.

    Indian home cook this side. Here are a few tips, just for that last punch of flavours: 1. If you have a pressure cooker, please use it. It's gonna reduce your cooking time, make your kabuli chana, more fluffier and allow the flavours to develop way more than cooking on a open pot. Incase a pressure cooker is unavailable try a wok, cover it with a lid. It's all about pressure. That's when baking powder is recommended. To make the chickpeas fluffier. 2. Cook your veggies in the oil before putting in the masala powder ( yes, homemade masala made from roasted spices is infinitely better than prepackaged one). Masala has a nasty habit of getting burned. Also once you're veggies turn a little tender from cooking they absorb the masala much better. 3. I don't think you need to throw out the soaked water. It doesn't hurt, and adds a bit of flavour. 4. I don't know if people blend their gravy. I think it should tenderise in the untensil itself. But if you want a creamier gravy, go ahead. 5. Bay leaves absolutely help. Please don't omit it. Break it into a few pieces and then put in your oil. 6. Open the pods of cardmom, or better yet pulverise the green cardamom, using pestle or just the back of your rolling pin. 7. It's a humble request, please don't boil basmati like pasta. I don't know why people are doing this. There should be about half a cup of water left to drain after its boiled. Always cook basmati in room temperature water, and don't add it to boiling water. The reason why basmati is so famous and expensive, is because of its long grain and aroma. When you add it directly to boiling water, it agitates the raw rice grains, and increases the chance of it breaking and that defeats the whole purpose of basmati. 8. Soak the chickpeas at least overnight. It is going to help you reduce your cooking time a lot and help save on energy. Enjoy the dish. Look for bhatura or Puri. They are Indian fried breads, famous for eating with chana.

    Not saying you were going for traditional recipe but - 1. Fenugreek seeds does not go well with channa masala. As you said you experiment with spices. I do too and without it is better. 2. Use oil in starting instead of ghee and just pour ghee in the end after recipe is fully made. Ghee warmed in green chilli and ginger. This is called tadka as in dal tadka. Instead of olive oil go for "no flavor" oils like vegetable or sunflower oil. 3. I know you said you cooked tomato and onion awhile but not that much. Believe me you think you did but instead just try one time cook till you think its burning. Like dark brown color. Traditionally onion amd whole spices (not grinded) are cooked first in oil bcz it takes more time and when onion is full dark brown (add water if sticks) and then add fresh tomato puree and salt + spices at this time only before chana and tea water + baking soda. Then add chana as last step before ghee tadka. 4. And as the other guy said use pemogrenate seed powder instead of anchur. A lot better final taste. 5. Before ghee at the end you can add one bowl of tea water and little baking soda to get that "restaurant" taste. 6. Some spices are better off not grinded like laung, bada elaicha and tez pata. Throw them in pan in very starting with onion. Way better flavor. Grinding them takes the smell away. PS: Your recipe is pretty good I am just telling improvement points if you wanna try more traditional chana masala. You can watch this video for reference. Its in hindi but this guy made me cook one of the best chana masala ever. kzread.info/dash/bejne/rHudusyRfZfLhZM.html

    It's so wonderful to see canned tomatoes being used here because the concept of canned vegetables (or chickpeas or anything) is so alien to us in India! Because we almost always buy our vegetables relatively fresh, I'm always curious as to what difference that makes, since I have no idea what pantry ingredients that aren't ground spices taste like. P.S. the water you soak the chickpeas in for the second non-pantry recipe is supposed to exponentially increase your muscle mass when you drink it. At least that's what my aunt told me.

    It can be somewhat hard to find good, fresh vegetables in many parts of the US most times of the year. Fresh tomatoes especially tend to be poor quality unless you grow your own or know someone who does, and even then the ripeness window is often only a few weeks a year! So sometimes, canned is a fairly cheap way to get better quality ingredients when they're out of season or not available locally.

    Damn, Adam, that's some really insane research. You made your garam masala from scratch. Added the whole spices to toast again after. You used aamchur - I don't think I've ever seen anyone use that outside India. You actually did the rice the way that South Indians do it - in Tamil (a South Indian language), we call it "vadicha" rice. Most Indians really like that method because, like you said, you get those separate grains! More than anything, you actually captured that this is a North Indian dish! I've been watching your videos for ages and I really shouldn't be surprised - when you do something, you do it so thoroughly! P.S. I'm an Indian who's immigrating to the West in a few months, so seeing a packet with 'Kabuli chana' (the Hindi name) written on it it more heartwarming than I can say!

    Great looking chana masala! The green cardamom pods are fine to go into the grinder also, and toasting the whole spices for a bit before grinding is also a good step.

    I made this using a bit of a hybrid method. Tinned tomatoes and chick peas, fresh onion, garlic and chillis. I also added a couple of carrots and an apple. My som loved it and ate th whole lot! Here in the UK we can buy what is known as curry powder in a variety of different blends. I believe you use that early in the cooking process and then add garam masala just before serving.
