Chana Masala

1. 1

   Pour oil into a pot of sufficient size and heat over medium-high heat. Immediately add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and dried red chili peppers. When mustard seeds begin to pop, add chopped onions and turmeric powder. Saute until onions are translucent (a few minutes, reduce heat and add oil if necessary). Add ginger and garlic, and stir 1-2 minutes.

2. 2

   Add all remaining ingredience except for garbanzo beans (tomato sauce, chopped tomatos, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, chili powder, tamrind paste, salt to taste, and a pinch of sugar, and stir (optional: for added spice, add chopped jalapeno pepper)). When sauce is hot, add garbanzo beans and stir 1-2 minutes before taking off heat. Do not overcook as garbanzo beans will become mushy. Serve with long-grain rice, bread, or whole-wheat tortillas. If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro
