It’s kind of magical how with two cans of food and some spices, you can have a good filling dish that is easy to make on the road.
I learned to cook chana masala while traveling in India, I have greatly simplified the recipe to fit life on the road. But I am happy to find the flavors that remind me of my trip.
I usually accompany it with chapatis (breads in the frying pan) or rice as here.
