Saag Chana Or Chickpeas With Greens Holy Cow Vegan Recipes

You might also like these recipes for chana masala or Indian masala chickpeas and chickpea curry. Saag chana is a healthy recipe and a popular Indian restaurant dish made with leafy greens and chickpeas. There are many, many versions of Saag Chana out there, and many do not blend the greens, but I rather like giving them a chance to get all smooth and silky in the blender before mixing them up with the chickpeas. But there is texture too in this recipe, from onions and tomatoes, and, of course, the chickpeas. Saag Chana is traditionally made with spinach, but I used some Swiss chard instead because I had some on hand, and it is quite possibly my favorite green to cook. Along with the leafy chard there’s some mint and some coriander and a few spices to add incredible flavor. All of this goodness is topped off by crunchy roasted potatoes, an optional garnish. As with most recipes here, this is an easy-to-make dish. And it doesn’t take long to come together. Try it. You’ll be glad you did. Check to get new recipe updates by email.
