Chickpea and Carrot Curry

In our spin on the Indian chickpea and potato curry known as chana masala aloo, we swap carrots for the usual potatoes. If you’d rather stick to tradition, feel free to use potatoes instead—or try a combination of the two. Garam masala, a warming Indian spice blend that packs a big flavor punch, is the primary flavoring. The mix typically includes cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, cumin, coriander, nutmeg, peppercorns and cloves. Garam masala is widely available in supermarkets; we always keep a jar in the pantry. Serve warmed flatbread or basmati rice alongside.
