I love this ,but I will cut back on the Cayenne pepper next time (the amount of cayenne called for was super HOT). This is nice on rice. McDougall calls it Chana Marsala (June 09 newsletter) prep-20 min Cook --40min. Serves around 6



1 onion chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
2 tab vegetable broth (I used water)
1 tabground coriander
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp turmeric

1 14.5 oz can garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
1 4oz can chopped green chilies (Me--use more like 2 ounces)
1 cup water
4 cups coarsed, chopped spinach
2-3 tab chopped fresh cilantro
