Chana Palak is not just a dish, it's a wholesome embrace of flavors and nutrients that will cozy up your dinner table tonight!

1

Start by heating 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat.

2

Add 1 chopped onion and sauté until it turns golden brown, which should take about 5 minutes.

3

While the onion is cooking, finely chop 2 cloves of garlic and 1 inch piece of ginger.

4

Once the onions are done, add the garlic and ginger and sauté for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

5

Then, add 1 chopped tomato and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until it starts to break down.

6

Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of turmeric, and 1 teaspoon of coriander, mixing well.

7

Now, add the 1 can of chickpeas (drained and rinsed) to the pan.

8

Stir everything together and cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the spices to mix evenly.

9

Next, add 2 cups of spinach to the mixture. It may seem like a lot at first, but it will wilt down.

10

Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes until the spinach is fully wilted, stirring occasionally.

11

Finally, season with salt to taste, and your Chana Palak is ready to be served!
