Chana Masala

Recipesfull introduces to you: Indian Recipes. (Chana Masala). This version of chana masala uses spinach instead of tomatoes, like my favorite Indian restaurant makes. It is so easy to throw together, and pretty healthy to boot! A perfect meal on a cold winter night when served with naan and basmati rice.
