Chana saag is a creamy chickpea and spinach curry that comes together quickly, is full of warm spices, filling, and vegan! Perfect for meal prep!

Chana Saag Curry

long grain white rice (0.95)

onion

garlic (0.16)

Tbsp grated fresh ginger (0.30)

olive oil (0.32)

Tbsp curry powder

tsp cumin (0.10)

salt (0.03)

tomato (0.31)

lb. frozen chopped spinach (1.60)

15 chickpeas (0.49)

water (0.00)

coconut milk (2.79)

Begin the rice first. Add the rice and 3 cups water to a sauce pot. Cover with a lid, place the pot over high heat, and bring it up to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, turn the heat off, and let the rice rest for 10 minutes, undisturbed, with the lid in place. Fluff with a fork just before serving.

While the rice is cooking, begin the curry. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger to a large skillet with the olive oil and sauté over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft. While these are cooking, dice the tomato.

Add the curry powder and cumin to the skillet and continue to stir and cook for one minute more. Add the diced tomato and salt. Continue to cook for about five minutes more, or until the tomato has broken down.

Drain the chickpeas in a colander and give them a quick rinse. Add the rinsed chickpeas, frozen spinach, and a half cup of water to the skillet. Stir everything together and then bring it up to a simmer over medium heat. Let the mixture simmer for five minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

After five minutes, turn the heat down to medium-low and add the coconut milk. Depending on how thick you want the sauce, you can either just heat through or let it simmer until thickened. Leave your chana saag chunky ,or, if preferred, use an immersion blender to purée some of the mixture. Once it’s heated through, adjust the salt to your liking.

Serve the creamy chickpeas and spinach over a bowl of warm rice.

Tried the chickpeas tonight for dinner; amazing!!! Thanks for sharing!

Followed this recipe to the T and it was delish! Thanks for sharing!

I was craving takeout yesterday and wanted to find a healthy substitute- this was perfect! I wasn't sure if the chickpeas would be filling but it turned out to be just the right amount! I would probably double the recipe if I'm feeding me and one other person though. Otherwise the only other adjustments I made was a little bit more salt and about another 1/4 tsp of paprika.

I really love the simplicity of this recipe. The spices we not overbearing and putting it all together was simple. This is definitely something for get togethers And days you want something light, but satisfying. Love thus recipe!

Made this last week! I doubled the chickpea amount because I like to stuff my gyros. It was delicious!! Definitely going to make again!

This recipe was so delicious and filling. I think it was my first time using chickpeas and now I’m a fan 😄

Was a really easy to follow recipe and turned out delicious! I love chickpeas and am always looking for new ways to make them. I also happen to love sandwiches of any kind, so this was a win win :)

These chickpeas were delicious! The next time, I'm going to make them as the protein on top of a greek salad. Super easy and versatile dish.

Delicious and easy; will definitely make these again. Thank you!

We have made this a few times now and it is a good, healthy recipe!

The yogurt sauce really makes this.  It's also amazing how much the crispy chickpeas, in texture and taste, feel like you are eating falafel.  My husband especially loved this, and he is not a vegetarian.  Thanks!

Delicious and easy dinner! I made the gyros with all the fixings, including the yogurt sauce. The whole family liked them. Thank you for the meal inspiration!

Chickpea_Gyros_By_Mi

For my love of chickpeas, I'm always testing recipes to cook simple, healthy and easy Chickpea Curries for weekday dinner.&nbsp;In my home, no one will mind eating healthy if it tastes good... I'm sure so is in yours!?&nbsp;This creamy chickpea curry fits right in category of being healthy, easy to cook, and yet tastes like a scrumptious restaurant-quality dinner at home..... Vegan, high in fiber, gluten free, and is ready in just 20 minutes! How good does that sound?&nbsp;<img alt="Creamy and vegan Roasted Tomatillos Chickpea Curry | chefdehome.com" src="https://media.chefdehome.com/750/0/0/chickpea-curry/roasted-tomatillo-salsa-verde-chickpea-curry-chefdehome-1.jpg" />Honestly,&nbsp; Roasted Tomatillos Chickpea Curry is pure example of my passion for Mexican bold flavors and my Indian heritage. When I was testing this recipe ..... I had my kitchen counter lined-up with small bowls filled with different versions of this curry and my guinea pig tasting everything.. ;) (you know him). I had this recipe in mind since long but wanted to make sure flavors work good together.&nbsp;I'm no stranger to experimenting with curries, and knew tang of roasted tomatillos will go good with meaty chickpeas and spicy curry.. yet recipe-testing has it's own fun. (and reassurance) :)<img alt="Creamy and vegan Roasted Tomatillos Chickpea Curry served with rice for easy weekday dinner | chefdehome.com" src="https://media.chefdehome.com/750/0/0/chickpea-curry/roasted-tomatillo-salsa-verde-chickpea-curry-chefdehome-3.jpg" />Coconut Milk - Yes or No?I was divided among using coconut milk or or no coconut milk in this curry. By nature, tangy gravies or dressing go great with chickpeas... In fact also enhance the flavor of chickpeas. So for me, this curry without coconut milk had sharp zesty and tangy flavor which I really loved. However, coconut milk adds another layer of flavor, tone down the tang and spice of curry as well. Bonus is that it makes curry even more creamy and still it is vegan.&nbsp;So in short, you can skip coconut milk or add substitute like almond milk or heavy cream (not vegan). However, please don't use traditional yogurt for creaminess in this curry. The tang of yogurt does not go with already tangy Tomatillos in this Chickpea Curry.<img alt="Creamy easy healthy Indian Chickpea Curry with a fusion taste of roasted tomatillos for a quick weekday dinner | chefdehome.com" src="https://media.chefdehome.com/750/0/0/chickpea-curry/roasted-tomatillo-salsa-verde-chickpea-curry-chefdehome-10.jpg" />Is it Salsa Verde Curry?!!Oh my!! You guessed it! ;)I know you are about to ask me - Savita, this Roasted Tomatillos sauce reminds me of Salsa Verde! Even though the sauce is not pure Salsa Verde but my answer is: Sure, it is very similar! It has that sharp and tangy taste which is courtesy of&nbsp;roasted tomatillos. See, now you know what will this chickpea curry taste like? ;) &nbsp;(a little tang, little spice...)In-fact, if you have any leftover salsa verde in your refrigerator? This curry will fly from your kitchen to dinner table under 10 minutes.&nbsp;PS: In-case you have already&nbsp;made-up mind to use salsa verde? Please don't forget to cook-off the watery liquid of salsa verde or curry will be runny and will not taste good. Also use good quality salsa verde and use les, as salsa verde will be tangier than this sauce.<img alt="Tangy Creamy Chickpea Curry with Coconut Milk for a winter comfort yet healthy dinner | chefdehome.com" src="https://media.chefdehome.com/750/0/0/chickpea-curry/roasted-tomatillo-salsa-verde-chickpea-curry-chefdehome-4.jpg" />Okay, enough about curry. Now, I can't resist to share the good news!! From past few days it has been raining heavily (for a change) with temperature&nbsp;in low 50s. drum rolls!!!!! We have seen no rain past whole year. It was so badly&nbsp;needed!And such good weather calls for&nbsp;a bowl of warm Chickpea Curry! Happy tummy, happy mind and happy me! :)Honestly, in cold weather I need something warm for all three meals. Even when I pack salads for lunch, I pack a portion of warm side like some leftover curry, small soup, or lentils which can be enjoyed warm. To me that few bites of warm food makes lunch so so comforting. For dinner and breakfast, mostly warm meal is ritual in our house. Other than sometime in summers when we switch to smoothies.<img alt="Tangy Creamy Chickpea Curry with Coconut Milk for a vegan and gluten free winter comfort yet healthy dinner | chefdehome.com" src="https://media.chefdehome.com/750/0/0/c/chickpea-curry/roasted-tomatillo-salsa-verde-chickpea-curry-chefdehome-13.jpg" />Diet Info:This delicious Chickpea Curry is gluten free (when served with rice or quinoa), vegan and also rich in healthy fiber and vegetarian protein. &nbsp;I hope you all are enjoying your day so far. Now, these pictures are making me super hungry. Time to get up for lunch! Oh, and speaking of which reminds me that this Chickpea Curry freezes very well. I usually freeze curry in small portions so it is easy to reheat for 1-2 quick servings. You know what? I still have a portion of this curry in freezer. I guess, my lunch is calling me! :)Enjoy! -Savita

How to Cook Dried Chickpeas for Chickpea Recipes

dry chickpeas, (approximately 2 cups dry chickpeas)

baking soda, (depending on the cooking mehtod)

water

garlic cloves. (lightly smashed)

Soak the chickpeas. You can either soak them overnight or try the quick soaking method. To soak overnight, put the chickpeas in a large bowl and add plenty of water to cover the chickpeas by a good 3 inches. Set aside for 24 hours. For the quick soak method, put the chickpeas in a pot and add 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minute. Turn the heat off, cover and let the chickpeas soak for 1 hour. Drain.

Stovetop Method. In a large cooking pot, put the chickpeas and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Cook over medium-high heat, tossing constantly for about 3 to 4 minutes. Add 7 cups of water to cover the beans by several inches. Season with a big pinch of kosher salt (about 1 teaspoon or more if you like). Add the bay leaf and garlic. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down and simmer, skimming off any foam or skins that float to the top. Chickpeas will cook anywhere from 40 minutes to 1 ½ hour or until tender (cooking time will vary depending on the type and freshness of the chickpeas).
