We’ve added fresh spinach to our SugarRoti Chickpea (Garbanzo) Curry recipe (also known as chana masala or chole) to create another simple, healthy one-pot Indian meal. Using our SugarRoti Garbanzo Nu Spice blend, our dry Garbanzo with Spinach dish can be prepared in 30 minutes using only 4 fresh ingredients. Make this dish vegan by using olive oil instead of ghee (clarified butter). Enjoy over rice, couscous, quinoa, or with a roti (also known as chapati – a round flatbread from India) or by itself.
