Plant-based protein. Ready in 90 seconds. I have a special place in my heart for Chana Masala, that Punjabi winner that bursts with bright tomato and caramelized onion. Warming garlic, ginger and cumin seed add complexity and will keep you coming back for more. Chana, is the Indian word for chickpea, the protein-rich bean that comes in tan and black varieties. Chana curries are a soul-satisfying go-to in India. I bring a fresh perspective to my delicious heritage, inviting you to experience the beautiful complexity of Indian food and share with the people you love. - Maya Kaimal, Julia Child Award-Winning Cookbook Author.
