Food Escapades & Curry Fridays ! Bon Appetit's Chana Masala
hello hello dear friends !
I am here once again a little late on my curry posting this week... the whole world is just so in shambles right now! It's a bit of a heavy subject so I'll refrain from talking too much about it, but it's certainly affected me personally if I am honest. Might be a factor in why I decided for something so simple this week hahaha.
Anyways, we've got another Chana Masala this week ! Yes yes, the third week I do this recipe, and it's still quite a kicker ! This time, I used a recipe from the trusty ol' Bon Appetit, which was honestly probably the easiest one of all the ones I have made. Just put some tomatoes on some onions and add curry powder and chickpeas and BLAMO ! a delicious, hearty meal ! It's still crazy to me that such things like this exist... It took me like, what, a few minutes to dice and brown an onion ? then wait 20 minutes ? and then I get to have such a nice and happy time with my parents eating at the table together and cherishing moments together... all from something as simple as this! it really is a marvel, I tell ya.

Question of the day: What is a food that you absolutely adore that is also quite healthy ?
Have a great day and STAY SAFE ! <3

Paraphrasing my comments from discord here to hopefully kick off the conversation.
Can't go wrong with Chana Masala! I always keep a bunch frozen in individual bags for when I am too lazy to cook, so I can just throw one in boiling water to reheat. Grab some naan or any other flatbread to go with it and you have yourself an easy peasy (and healthy) meal. I make mine a lot more saucey though, so I got plenty for dipping!
Avocado. Not only is it absolutely delicious, but it's also great for you too. They can get a bit pricey up here in Canada at certain times of year, and the ones we get are typically much smaller than the ones I could get in Florida, but I genuinely don't care... they are still totally worth it! :P
