hello my friends namashkar and welcome
to Curries with Bumbi today I will show you how to make chickpea butter masala it is a
quick recipe but it is very very delicious and it tastes just like the ones that you get at
restaurants we will first do the blender work in your blender jar add some Tomatoes garlic
and ginger and make a smooth puree out of it in a pot add about a tbsp of oil and 2 tbsp
of butter as soon as the butter melts add a teaspoon of cumin seeds that is jira then add
finely chopped onions make sure you chop your onions very fine in that way the onions will
Brown up faster at the same time they will blend in well into the gravy at the end I just
don’t like to see pieces of onion swimming here and there in the gravy and staring at me I
added a fourth of a teaspoon of salt to the onions to help them soften up faster now you do
not want the onions to turn too deep and dark brown in color a light brown color is what we
are aiming for see how beautiful the onions are looking now at this point I like adding about
half a tablespoon of thick tomato paste tomato paste is optional but the tomato is available now
at tasteless so I prefer adding the concentrated tomato paste it not only brings in a nice orange
color to the dish but it also gives a nice flavor after adding the tomato paste fry it on medium low
heat for a minute and then it is spice time half a teaspoon of turmeric powder a heaped teaspoon
of kashmiri red chili powder 2 tsp of ground coriander that is dhania powder and a teaspoon of
ground cumin that is jeera powder fry the spice powders on low heat just for a few seconds and
then add the Blended tomato ginger and garlic give a stir and then cover it on medium heat for 5 [Music] minutes after 5 minutes again give
a stir and then cover it partially on medium heat you want everything to thicken
up more okay so I have used canned chickpeas but you can also use dry chickpeas
in that case soak it overnight and cook them till they are tender since I’m using canned
chickpeas I drained all the liquid from the can and rinse the chickpeas under tap water
now from this I will save a third of a cup of chickpeas and I will tell you why a little
later okay the tomato has thickened up quite a bit now I add about 2 tsp of salt and a
teaspoon of sugar to balance the flavors then a teaspoon of garam masala powder
goes in and this is my homemade garam masala powder I will leave the link to
that video in the description box finally a teaspoon of dried fenugreek leaves that
is kasoori methi crush it a little and add it then the chickpeas tumble down stir them very well so that they get well
coated and fried with that Masala next add about a cup of hot water now remember that third of a cup of
of chickpeas that we had saved earlier pour that into your blender jar along with
half a cup of water and puree it to a smooth paste then add this chickpea paste
into the gravy what this will do is that it will bring in a thickness to the gravy
I added a fourth of a teaspoon of black pepper powder next cover on low heat for
15 minutes in between give a stir and cover again 15 minutes done and
see how gorgeous the curry is looking do a taste test at this point and
adjust the seasonings I felt the need to add a little more of sugar as it was tasting
a bit sour then chopped coriander leaves go in and more goodness on the way that is a
third of a cup of heavy cream cream if you are allergic to dairy or if you are following a
vegan diet you can add coconut cream or coconut milk cover it again on low heat for 5 more
minutes after 5 minutes you’re almost done but there is still another step that I would
love to do I plated it out garnished it with some chopped coriander leaves drizzle some
cream on top then heat a small pan over low heat I added a tablespoon of butter because
it is butter chickpea masala my friends and just a drop of oil so that the butter doesn’t
burn once the butter starts melting switch off the heat and add a teaspoon of sweet paprika to
the melted butter my friends please remember to switch off the heat when adding the paprika to
the melted butter or else it will burn you can also use Kashmir chili powder instead of paprika
then drizzle this buttery p paprika goodness over the chickpeas now this my friends tastes just
like the one served at restaurants and you will love it serve it with naan or any flatbread of
your choice please give me a thumbs up if you’ve enjoyed watching this video and do send me your
feedback after trying this recipe bye-bye [Music]

Totally right about tomatoes these days in the UK. Absolutely tasteless.
I was in Spain last year and their tomatoes blew me away by how flavoursome they are.
i love chickpeas!! thank you for sharing, can i ask if you would consider please sharing other plant based recipes?? love your work!!
I made this recipe for dinner tonight, it was easy to follow and quite quick to make. It was very delicious and a big success. It’s a great recipe too because most of the ingredients are standard in My cupboard fridge so I can see myself making this again many times. Thank you for sharing this great recipe.
Bumbi – Are tinned Chana (chickpeas) a thing in Indian – or just a wasteful unsustainable American habit ?
I made this last weekend. I made it again today but added mushrooms and cauliflower. fantastic both times.
Thank You
This is delicious 😋😋
I have shared this with all my family
Thank you 🙏
Buttaahhh 😅

❤
Your voice is so pleasant and sedating.
Just cooked this for the family, but with yoghurt, not cream.. Absolutely delicious. Big thanks for sharing.
I just made this again without the potatoes … amazing. Thanks Bumbi! ❤❤❤
Superbe, merci
Which restaurant is selling chhole butter masala?
This looks absolutely delicious. A definite must try for me later this week
Sorry i can't find home made garam masala recipe 🙏
Namaskaram, Bumbi…I can SMELL it !
If you don't like pieces of onion in your curry, have you tried adding baking soda to the onions? This causes them to basically melt into a paste while cooking.
Love the recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Oh yummm
Bumbi, you are a blessing. Your recipe is perfect, but your personality and your gentle loving message is what I needed most.
I agree with your comment about tasteless tomatoes. I overcome that by using canned whole peeled Italian tomatoes.
Thank you👍🫶🤝🔔
You have my subscription, the recipe looks delicious and your voice is lovely, so sweet and relaxing🥰
As a european, it is a pleasure that by "gravy" you mean the gravy you make infront of our eyes, not some storebought gravy. That is the power of indian curry, just proper tomato, spice and time. 🙂
Made this today and it’s delicious. Thank you. My daughter had Indian food on campus hence requested me to make it @ home. I added chicken to the dish and served with naan.
butter paprika mix is a good tip, thanks for that
Great video
