Instructions
-
1Dice onions finely. Grate garlic and ginger into a paste.
-
2Heat oil in a pot. Add cumin seeds — wait until they crackle (30 seconds).
-
3Add onions and sauté 8–10 minutes until golden brown — this is the base of the sauce.
-
4Stir in garlic-ginger paste and green chili. Roast sharply for 3 minutes.
-
5Sprinkle all dry spices (coriander, ground cumin, turmeric, chana masala), roast 1–2 minutes.
-
6Add tomatoes, simmer 10 minutes over medium heat until the oil separates.
-
7Add chickpeas (drained). Pour in 5 oz (150 ml) water. Simmer 15 minutes.
-
8Stir in garam masala and amchoor. Adjust salt to taste.
-
9Arrange in bowls. Top with a small dollop of cannabis ghee — it melts and adds shine.
Pro Tips
- The 'oil-separates' sign after simmering tomatoes shows the masala is properly browned — only then add chickpeas.
- Canned chana masala works perfectly — no long soaking times needed.
- Cannabis ghee on chana masala is classically Indian — a fat finish elevates the spices.
- Serve with bhatura (fried bread) or puri for an authentic street food experience.
