Channa Masala

Looks like a lot of ingredients and a lot of steps but is easily modified to what you have on hand and the steps are quite quick. I didn't have a lot of the spices, but I did have curry powder. If you have cumin seeds, roast them but leave them whole. Lots of lemon! Serve over brown rice. Makes 6-8. So you may want to reduce since chickpeas would be a dried bean (column 1 - 20%).

Variations: include chopped potatoes or eggplant
