I made myself chana Masala for dinner tonight using this recipe. It is awesome! The perfect blend between warm hot spices and soft chickpeas.
I didn’t know about amchur powder until a couple of months ago but oh my God it is good! It is dried unripe mango and gives a fruity acidity to anything you add it to. The tanginess from the amchur really brings the dish together and elevates it from being just chickpeas and canned tomatoes into something amazing.
Looks amazing! That’s my all-time favorite dish
In lieu of amchoor powder, one time I threw a piece of mango and some lemon juice in the sauce before I blended it up and that was pretty bomb. Another favorite modification of mine was using a can of tomatoes that had some green chilis in it too when I got it on sale. I also like adding a pinch of hing
I added hing as well, it is delicious.
oh i’ve made this many times but never with amchur powder that sounds delicious
Amchur is absolutely the backbone of a really good channa masala. If you can get it, do it. Your only regret will be not getting it sooner.
Fuck now I want chana masala lol.
It’s only been 2 weeks since Hexbear had its last amchur discourse and I’m so here for it
