For the past year, I have been trying my hand at indian cooking. I haven't been very successful. Recently, our cousins have come back from being stationed in Amman, Jordan. He showed me some of his favorite recipes that he has learned including mint chutney, naan bread, and chicken curry. They were all delicious. Getting in the kitchen with him inspired me to give indian cooking another try. I found this great recipe on Pioneer woman's recipe website- tasty kitchen.

It was a success! I cut back on the red pepper flakes to 1/4 tsp because 1 T. sounded crazy hot. I think I will make it a little hotter next time but still probably not 1 Tablespoon. Trying this recipe gave me the confidence to try more. So, chana masala-- I will try you again someday soon!!
I have found that once you have the spices all prepared and stored, indian cooking is a good, quick meal. Also, if you are wondering where the resourceful part came in... I used leftover basmanti rice. It was still very delicious. Jeff is very meticulous when it comes to rice. It is either too sticky or soggy, etc. etc. He commented on how good the rice was... Great use of leftover rice!!
