Katie Hason says:

Mouthwatering chana saag. I have made this dish a few times but this is by far one of the best recipes to date. All of the aromatic seasonings really take this stew to this next level. If you're looking to make an easy, impressive meal, this is it.

Sam Dalton says:

This chana saag was perfect with the homemade naan bread that my wife made. It was very flavorful and aromatic, and I would definitely make it again

Pinney Stern says:

I was the substitution queen here. I used my pressure cooker for 30 minutes on high, I made a fake gram Marsala, substitution for internet, I used tamarind for the dried mango, I used a handful of cherry tomatoes, I used sweet potato leaves for spinach. Which by the way I put in after the 30 minutes, I released pressure added leaves and brought it back up for 1 minute, than released after 6 minutes. I also used toasted sourdough. It was really good, no left overs.

Mary Mueller says:

Can you give the cooking instructions for this using the pressure cooking option with dried beans? Thank you.

Leah Charlesworth says:

Really flavourful! We used mango chutney instead of the mango ingredient listed. Next time I will double the recipe so we have some left overs for lunch the next day. Very happy with this recipe!

Neil Morrison says:

Uh oh, I just started this, did step 1, then 2, then got confused at step 3. Step one told me to add the spinach, which I did, then step 3 tells me to add the spinach after cooking. Did I mess up? Will know in a few hours.
