Description

1-pot vegan chana masala packed with vegetables in a spicy tomato-based broth. Serve by itself or spoon over quinoa or rice.

 


Ingredients

  • 1 tsp avocado oil (or sub 1/4 cup veggie broth if oil-free)
  • 1 medium white or yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 TBSP ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/4 tsp Himalayan sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp garam masala
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 1/2 cups broccoli florets, roughly chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups diced carrots
  • 1 1/2 cups cauliflower florets, roughly chopped
  • 1 1/4 cups of Jovial organic diced tomatoes
  • 1 13-oz. jar of Jovial organic garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tsp pure maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 TBSP lemon juice

For serving

  • quinoa or rice
  • fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Heat a large saucepan over medium heat on the stovetop. Once it’s warm, add the avocado oil and diced onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until the onions are translucent.
  2. Next, add the cumin, chili powder, coriander, sea salt, turmeric, garlic powder, ginger, and garam masala and mix well with the onions. Cook the onion and spices for 1-2 minutes, until they’re fragrant.
  3. Next add the broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, diced tomatoes, chickpeas, and vegetable broth. The mixture should be very thick and stew-like. (You can add more vegetable broth or water later to thin out, if you prefer more of a “soup” consistency.)
  4. Increase the heat to medium-high until the mixture reaches a low boil, then reduce the heat to low or medium-low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Taste the mixture and add more sea salt or spices as desired. I like a little extra cumin and chili powder!
  6. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in lemon juice and a drizzle of maple syrup for optional sweetness.
  7. Serve the chana masala with fresh cilantro and an optional grain of your choice. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for 4-5 days and reheat before serving.
