Rinse and dice fresh tomato while periodically stirring onions for approximately 2 minutes. Add chickpeas, canned tomatoes and water to the pot and stir. Add 4-5 tablespoons of Shan® Chana Masala Mix to the pot and stir thoroughly: season additionally and taste-test to an appropriate spiciness.

Rinse and process cilantro while allowing the pot to cook on high for 8-12 minutes while stirring periodically.

Once the liquid has assumed a stew-like consistency, shut off the burner and stir vigorously to cool the Chana. Work in fresh tomato and cilantro: it’s done!
