Murg Chanay – Chicken and Chickpeas Curry

The Prophet (PBUH) has said: “Whoever fasts in Ramadan out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah’s rewards, then all his past sins will be forgiven.” (Sahih Bukhari) Further more, the Prophet (PBUH) has also said, “Fasting is a shield; it protects you from hell fire and prevent you from sins.” Both these Hadiths (sayings of the Prophet, as we call it) only goes to specify how important fasting is in terms of purifying one’s soul and mind. It all depends upon the level you take it. If the whole process of abstaining from food, drink and natural desires are taken in the positive sense, then the right direction will be achieved.

Off to today’s recipe, which is what I accompanied the Batturas with for my carnivores family. Only chana normally draws very dark and clumsy faces at home, especially my B. When I saw this recipe, I just had to try it and not to mention, the chana disappeared along with the chicken!!! 😉 So it is like getting in double proteins into the system, you see…. hehe… This is basically a Pakistani style curry. I had found the recipe on an old FB page which is non-existent now. But it is so delicious, that you will want to make it again and again!
