Inspired by chana saag from Tenderheart: A Book About Vegetables and Unbreakable Family Bonds (page 391) by Hetty Lui McKinnon

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute butter for ghee, coconut milk or cream for coconut cream, and kale for silverbeet for frozen spinach.

    Loved this! I used one can chickpeas and 8 ounces of halloumi that I needed to use up. Served with flatbread.

    Needed many intermittent dashes of salt, upped garam masala to 1.5 teaspoons, and used just one 5.4 oz can of coconut cream (what I had on hand) at once while cooking (same veg measurements), skipped the drizzle. Cannot emphasize enough that this needs an acid—squeezed a whole lime after turning the heat off and it was perfect.
