Years ago I found this recipe on the box of Bisquick. This pie is quick and easy to prepare and it tastes good too. Even the “picky” kid liked it. Sometimes I change it up a bit by adding an extra ingredient, such as a handful of frozen kernel corn or a sweet red pepper.

Chana Masala (Savory Indian Garbanzo Beans)
My old friend Sudesh shared this recipe with me almost 50 years ago. It’s a savory mix of chick peas, tomatoes, garlic, onions and spices…lots of spices, simmered to perfection.
