Chana Masala is a very popular Indian recipe, a simple dish of garbanzo beans cooked in spices. This one-pot recipe is super-easy to make and extremely satisfying to eat. I often serve it with plain basmati rice or naan, and in the colder months I have it as a kind of bean soup for lunch. The hearty chickpeas are so filling, and I just love having a warm soup in the middle of the day!
