Direcciones
- In a non-stick pan heat oil and add peppercorns (optional). Immediately add the chopped onions and cook until translucent.
- Add tomatoes, red chili powder, dry coriander powder, ginger, garlic, masala, and turmeric. Cook until tomatoes no longer have any water.
- Add tomato paste and mix well. THEN add water. When the water is added after the paste has been mixed, you will find it easier to combine the water into the dish.
- Stir in the chick peas, baby spinach, and salt. Mash about half of the chickpeas with a masher. I add salt at the end to prevent over or under measurement (I add ½ tbsp but please add according to your salt tolerance level).
- Stir in heavy whipping cream (optional).
- Cook for an additional 5 minutes on medium/high heat stirring frequently.
- Top with cilantro.
- Serve with one of the following starches-white/brown rice, quinoa, naan, paratha, or roti; and add an onion salad + lemon wedge to the final dish.
