Chana Saag
- 10 oz. package of frozen spinach
- 1 can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 6 oz can or 2 ripe diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon canola oil (or other vegetable oil) + 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon black mustard seed (or 1/4 tsp yellow mustard powder)

- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Heat a large sautA pan at medium heat. Add the oil and butter and let it heat through just until a drop of water added to the pan sizzles.
- If using black mustard seeds, Add to the oil. Let them sizzle in the oil for two minutes (they may begin to pop). Shake your pan to keep them from burning.
- Add the onions and sautA for 5-7 minutes, until the onions are getting translucent.
- Add the garlic and sautA for another two minutes. If anything is getting brown, turn your heat down a little.
- Add the spices and salt, stir constantly for one minute. (Add mustard powder if not using seeds).
- After a minute, pour in A1/2 of your tomato can and sautA for another minute. Add the remaining tomatoes and sautA for another minute.
- Add the chickpeas and sautA for another minute.
- Add spinach and sautA for another minute.
- If there is no liquid left in our pan at this point, add A1/4 cup water. Allow to simmer for five minutes.
