Channa Masala + Kale Salad (Almosttttt Vegan)

So I had a relaxing weekend at home... working... and getting my car repaired. Apparently, having brake pads are like important or something. Whatever, now I'm poor. So in making dinner for Grant, Scott, Brooke, Ivana, Chris and Issac, I essentially had to raid my mom's pantry and MacGyver something delicious and healthy. With contributions of an avocado, two blood oranges, feta and naan, plus my stolen goods and mom's amazing recipes, I made Channa Masala and a grapefruit kale salad.




Channa Masala:
(ingredients: onion, green chile, garlic, chile powder, ginger, turmeric, garam masala, garbanzo beans, potatoes, tomatoes.)


Chop up one onion, three cloves of garlic, two quarter sized pieces of ginger and a green chile. Sautee until translucent in three tablespoons of veggie oil.

I added two chopped potatoes to make a little extra as well as three chopped tomatoes (vine ripened please).

Add 1 tablespoon garam masala, 1 tsp turmeric, 3/4 chile powder.

Throw in three cans of rinsed garbanzo beans.

Add a cup of water.

Bring to a boil, then simmer for a half hour. Add some salt.

Serve with warm naan.

Kale Salad:
(ingredients: avocado, balsamic, grapefruit, blood orange, lemons, olive oil, salt, pepper, kale, feta)

Massage juice of lemons in a few bunches of kale.

Segment up some blood oranges and grapefruit. Throw into salad.

Mash up avo with EVOO and balsamic, salt, pepper and vinegar (vegan creamy dressing, mofos)

Throw on salad with some feta (if you want some cheese or just add a little extra salt instead)

Serve.
