I Had An Interesting Food Tonight

[win231]

Channa Masala. I didn't make it (I'm no chef & I don't enjoy cooking). I found it at Trader Joe's. It just needs to be heated for 25 minutes.
It's a mixture of Chick Peas, onions, etc. with a variety of spices - some Indian. I'm impressed; I didn't expect to like it this much. It tastes like something that took hours to make. I'll be stocking up on it.

Masala is Indian. Glad you enjoyed your culinary adventure.

Indian food is very popular in the UK and In some parts this would be regarded as 'local' cuisine. Masala basically means a mixture of spices.

I probably would not like it with all those spices. I love and cook with a lot of spices but mine are mostly cajun based as I do a lot of gumbos, etc.

I looked up a recipe for Channa Masala. Sounds great and apparently quick and easy to make — but for me, including the diced green chili would be too much!

If you make it yourself, you could adjust the spices to suit and If you look up recipes for virtually any dish you will find dozens of slightly different ones. I do virtually all my cooking from scratch and adjust the quantity of things such as chillies and salt to suit my own taste.

It's not very hot; you might like it.

I took a couple of East Indian cooking classes - it’s easier to go to a restaurant.

Sounds good, and I found it on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002JF61XO?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp), ordered some. The nearest Trader Joe's is 70 miles. I like the cooking directions, microwave for 1 minute, my kind of cooking.

That's available at King Sooper's. I'm going to pick some up next time I go shopping.

Win is going to have us all eating Channa Masala!

I love spicy food and chick peas, so I'd no doubt like it. Will give it a go. Trader Joe's is just up the street from where I live.
