There used to be a restaurant in Hoboken called “India on the Hudson” that served some exquisite food. I went several times and could never order anything but the chana saag. It has the most incredible flavors and textures, like nothing else I’ve ever had. I’m no connosieur of Indian cuisine – my wife’s father rips on me for loving the “yellow and orange stuff” at Indian places. But I challenge you to find a yellow or orange colored dish at a good Indian restaurant that isn’t delicious. This dish is neither yellow nor orange but delicious nonetheless. When you factor in that I recently won the Indian spice giveaway at Spiceaholic, I had no choice but to try my hand at this dish. I couldn’t decide between straight chana (chickpeas) or chicken (chicken) saag, so I went with both. Verdict: the chickpeas are much better so I recommend using only chickpeas for a full-blown chana saag.
