Author Notes

An easy, healthy and delicious ‘Chana Saag’, which means chickpeas and spinach curry comes together in minutes with Masala Mama’s Tikka Masala sauce. Make a raita on the side while the sauce is simmering and you have a heavenly meal in ten minutes! —MasalaMama

What You'll Need

  1. In a pot or saucepan (with a lid) combine Masala Mama’s Tikka Masala Simmer Sauce with stock/water, chickpeas and red pepper flakes and bring to a simmer.
  2. Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer 10 minutes.
  3. Stir in spinach, handful at a time, until just wilted.
